Rancang Bangun Sistem Sortir Benda Berbasis Programable Logic Control (PLC)

Abstract

This research aims to (1) Create a PLC-based object sorting automation system and (2) Create a system-controlled sorting of objects sort automation. The research methods of this research consist in phases (1) Identification problems, (2) designing, (3) development (4) trials. Based on the research the system has been implemented can detect objects by utilizing the IR Proximity sensor with a distance of 30 mm — 800 mm and can be adjusted as needed. This system used IR Proximity reading range 50 mm. IR Proximity sensors are also used to detect the height level of an object and calculate a sorted object. This object sorting system is controlled using PLC. Programs for object sorting systems can be created with the Leadder Diagram, ST, and FBD language programs. For PLC and PC communication using LAN cable.
