Programmable controller usage example

This example shows the programmable controller system in a beverage plant.

The following explains the procedure for putting bottles in a case.

1When the switch is turned ON, the "IN OPERATION" lamp is lit, and the conveyor is set in

operation.

2When the conveyor brings a bottle case to a particular position, the sensor senses it.

3When the bottle case is sensed, the stopper operates to stop it.

4The lifter goes up, the arm moves forward, and the lifter goes down to put bottles in the case.

5One is added to the value in the product counter.

6When the CPU module concludes that the above procedure is completed, the stopper goes down

to let the cases flow.

Repeat procedures 2to 6.
