Bottle Filling Simulation System Using Programmable Logic Control

Abstract

The use of manual systems in the process of bottle filling is still often used, when using the manual process, then make the production is not maximal, and the volume is often different. The process is also done of course repeatedly, of course, takes a long time. The proposed tools are used to make bottle filling automatically to make the work faster and more efficient. In the process of filling the bottle on this prototype, the user can choose the option to fill the bottle. This prototype is PLC-based, PLC is considered capable to replace hundreds of relays, time etc., then PLC is considered mostly for the automation process. In this research, the method used is direct experimental method, which is done by research planning, control design, circuit, tool design, up to test phase, when tested in experiment 1 for 7 times experiment, with 1 second filling time, bottles have not been consistent, if averaged the result is 39,571 ml. then in the second experiment for 7 experiments, with a 2 second filling time, the water that filled the bottle has not been consistent, if the average yield is 108 ml.
