The article deals with the design of the control concept of the sorting conveyor device, which is controlled using a programmable logic automaton. Sensors for detecting objects are designed, and manipulation mechanisms for sorting products according to the detected properties of objects are also designed. It is possible to sort according to the material or according to the dimensions of the objects. The simulation confirms the correctness of the designed control concept. In the next part, a visualization of the simulation of the designed control concept is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
