Design and implementation of automatic bottle filling system using PLC and SCADA

Abstract

This Project objective is to design and Implement a Programmable Logic Controller based automatic bottle filling using a Siemens SIMATIC S7-200 (CPU 226) PLC which acts as a field controller that runs the designed prototype by sensing the presence of bottle in a conveyor belt and then filling it accordingly up to a fixed level. In order to keep track of the overall process in real time, a four layers distributed Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition system was built to monitor and remotely control the bottle filling station over a local area network through an Human Machin Interface designed specifically for the proposed system that indicates the status of different process variables, displays alarms and log events. The SCADA system was deployed using LabVIEW software which makes the system cost efficient, flexible with an open environment and reliable solution for automation of small scale industries.
