Abstract: The Automatic Bottle Filling System for Different Sized Bottles will be used for small plants and businesses where

single conveyor is used but different size of goods or in different quantities can be packaged. In this system requirement of

number of conveyors is reduced. This saves our most economical time which is requires to set up the programme and hardware

changes for different quantities.

Keywords: Automation, PLC, Bottles or container, Sensors Different size, Conveyor.

I. INTRODUCTION

The field of automation has a notable impact in a wide range of industries beyond manufacturing. Automation is the use

of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and

services. In the scope of industrialization, automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental

requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy. One of the important

applications of automation is in the soft drink and other beverage industries, where a particular liquid has to be filled

continuously. For these kinds of applications the trend is moving away from the individual device or machine toward

continuous automation solutions. Totally Integrated Automation puts this continuity into consistent practice. Totally

Integrated Automation covers the complete production line, from receipt of goods, the production process, filling and

packaging, to shipment of goods. Our project is also an application of automation wherein we have developed a liquid

filling to bottles of different height. The various processes are controlled using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

Fig.1. Block diagram of system

In above figure shows the overall project block diagram. The main device is used know as PLC. PLC having input and

output module and it is required power supply is 24 v dc is given by the SMPS. The PLC is used of Allen Bradley 1400

which having following features:

1. Rugged design: suitable for harsh industrial environments against high temperature variations, dust, and

vibrations.

2. Industry standard I/O interfaces: capable of communicating with other PLCs, computers and intelligent devices.

3. Industry standard programming languages: easily learned and understood. Programming is primarily concerned

with logic, timing, counting and switching operations.

4. Field programmable.

5. Reduces hard wiring and wiring cost.

6. Monitoring, error checking and diagnostics capability.

7. Competitive in both cost and space requirement.

8. Hardware: consists of the actual device technology, i.e. the PCBs, integrated modules, wires, battery, housing

etc.

9. Firmware: is the software part, known as executive software, that is permanently installed and supplied by the

PLC manufacturer. Programs are usually stored in ROM or EPROM.

10. Software: is the user program. User programs are usually stored in the RAM.

To the PLC sensors are connect at input side are float sensor, proximity sensor and light grid sensor. And the at

output side of PLC conveyor motor, pump motor and solenoid valve is connected.

In this project sensors are placed on the support and now different sized container are placed on the conveyor. Once

system started by start or ON button then conveyor start to rotate and bottles started to travelling. If the bottle comes

across the proximity sensor then conveyor gets stop at the time light grid sensor detects the which size of bottle is to be

filled. Once the size is detected the solenoid valve is get open and at that time pump is get ON and bottles started filling

at faster rate.

According to the size of bottle timer gets on and filling is done by time calculations. After the end of time pump is OFF

and solenoid valve get closed. And conveyor starts to run. All the procedure is repeated for all of single bottles. All

control done by the PLC by using of ladder logic diagram.

II. PROPOSED CONTROL STRATEGY

For different sized bottle we need to control conveyor, pump and may be solenoid valve if needed when pump is turned

off and any leakage of water. Different sized bottles will contain different quantity of liquid to be fed hence to control

timing operation on pump. We can replace light grid sensor with other IR sensor to detect the size of bottle, we are used

light grid sensor for effective result. Conveyor will stop for every bottle, first we have to consider number of size of

bottles to be fed, we are selected two size of bottles. For that sizes pump is ON for small duration for small bottle and

more for big bottles.

III. STUDY RESULTS

Result from this studies we get one of the advantage is that reduces the number of requirement of conveyor and

wastage of the time for setup for different sized bottles.

3.1 POWER SUPPLY ARRANGEMENT

FOR PLC:

For PLC 24V DC is requires is given through the SMPS. 230V AC has given to the SMPS which covert to 24V

DC.

FOR SENSORS:

Sensors have different ratings and different types of supply required.

In our project

1. For float sensor - 24V DC / 12V DC gives discrete input to PLC

2. For light grid sensor – 24 V DC having analog output from 0 – 24V DC

3. Proximity sensor – 24V DC gives discrete input to PLC.

The supply is arranged using AC/DC converters and the input to converters is 230 AC.

FOR OUTPUT DEVICES:

1. Solenoid valve – 12V DC / 220V AC

2. Conveyor motor – 24V DC

3. Pump motor – 12 DC

The supply is arranged using AC/DC converters and the input to converters is 230 AC.

CONCLUSION

The main objective of this project is to develop a bottle filling system based on certain specification. More

features can be added to this system depending on the size, shape and the weight of the bottles, filling operation can be

implemented capping operation can be done using piston arrangement.
