This automation project centered on building reliable control logic for conveyors and drive systems in a manufacturing environment. The resulting architecture emphasizes safety, stability, and fast recovery.
Manufacturing Automation System
ControlLogix-based automation for conveyor and drive systems in a production environment.
Key Reminders
- Describe the end-to-end control architecture for conveyors and drives.
- Explain how interlocks and fault handling protect equipment and operators.
- Highlight commissioning workflow and troubleshooting strategies.
Technologies
System Overview
Built and refined PLC logic to coordinate conveyors, drives, and safety interlocks across a production line. The focus was stable material flow and quick operator recovery from faults.
Control Architecture
The system integrates multiple drives, sensors, and safety devices under a centralized ControlLogix program with clear state handling.
ladder code
Code example forthcoming
Conveyor sequencing and fault-handling routine.
Electrical Design
I/O maps, drive configuration, and panel wiring were validated to ensure safe operation and predictable start-up behavior.
Testing and Validation
Commissioning focused on verifying interlocks, throughput stability, and operator recovery procedures.
Demo and Next Steps
Future improvements include predictive alarms and extended logging for maintenance analytics.
