5.Counting Control for Packing Machine
Requirement:
1) The packing cycle is that it begins counting the finished products in the assemble line,
when the counting value reaches 12, it proceeds packing operation which takes 5
seconds. After finished, it begins a new cycle.
2) It simultaneous counts the finished packs of product.
3) In case of power failure, the counting remains unchanged.
Analysis:
1) A transducer is employed to produce the pulse signal when the transducer detects
the arrival of a product. A counter generates an output when the counting value reaches
12 and a timer is employed to have a delay of five seconds.
