ABSTRACT
In many industries, it is required to move parts from one place to another.
Sometimes the working environment is not suitable for physical health as there
can be poisonous gases and chemicals etc. To replace manual work the concept of
conveyer belt is used, but still, need to have human supervision. In this paper, a
remote controllable automatic conveyor belt is introduced using Programmable
Logical Control (PLC), where it can operate automatically and controlled by a
remote location. As Users
can obtain information about the real-time status and control the equipment remotely,
it can be used in hazardous places where it is unsafe for human beings. Even with non-hazardous situations, it would
reduce the manpower requirement, and also increase the total production efficacy
and accuracy. Automation is achieved by using PLC and HMI software running in a
PC. Monitoring can be done remotely using the latest network and internet technologies
Controlling is done by using relays connected to the sensor module. When compared
to traditional systems connected with wires, the proposed system has many
advantages with its wireless technology. It is not required to have fixed
control room as user can monitor and control from anywhere.

INTRODUCTION
In
this project is most importing to small industry, it is a system to move the part to
one place to another place, It is Conway system control by Programmable Logical
Control (PLC). It is reliable and Safety is very high and production cost
also low. Users can obtain real-time status information and control remote
equipment without time and space restriction. In this project, the monitoring
and controlling of devices are achieved using PLC, simulation of HMI, and pc
monitor. Also, it can monitoring and control through the internet by using a network
module to PLC. Then the user can control the device through a relay connected
to the sensor module. Apart from controlling the devices remotely, an automatic
controlling procedure is also provided to control the devices.
Automatic
control panels are available in industries for monitoring and controlling the
parameters of machines and hence the final product. But most of the control panels
in industries are wire panels and machines are controlled and monitored by the
control room operator using a wired network. The wires are moving through
conducts, sometimes inside walls and sometimes underground also. So breakdown
maintenance of these wires is a difficult task in industries. As these wires are
not open so it is difficult to locate the fault. And even after locating the
fault, it takes time to repair them. The second disadvantage of this method is
operator console cannot move from one room to another. Every time operator has
to go to a particular room to monitor and control the operation.
Also this Conway
system no need an external rack it is initially we have fixed to the Conway it is
made by 3D printing. Material decided according to the user.
If anyone hasn’t money to get PLC
they can use a microcontroller for this process but it is not suitable for a larger
production. But in a small factory can use it easily. It is an IoT system. This
system like a small SCDAR system.
I. PROPOSED SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Proposed architecture
mainly consists of three Modules. They are:
1.
Sensor Module
2. DC motor
3. Network Module
Sensor module consists
of all the sensors which are used for data acquisition and sending these values
to the DC motor through PLC, whereas the DC motor is the one which is responsible for receiving
the values from sensor modules and posting.

III. HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION
S7-300 PLC
Modular
The Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 Series Modular
Controllers have been designed for innovative system solutions with a focus
on manufacturing engineering, and as a universal automation system, it
represents an optimal solution for applications in centralized and distributed
configurations. The S7-300 Series can be set up in a
modular configuration without the need for slot rules for I/O modules. There is
a wide range of modules available both for the centralized and the distributed
configuration with ET 200M. In addition to standard
automation, safety technology and motion control can also be integrated in the
S7-300 Series.
IV.PROGRAMING
LANGUAGE & SOFTWARE
Thin project use to program language
is ladder it is a common language to most of Siemens PLC product. It is easy to
understand and analyze.
SIMATIC TIA portal is now the latest software for
S7 series PLC controller programing. TIA integrated with step7, WinCC &
scout TIA.
Before 2010 Siemens has
SIMATIC manager software for programming and configuration

PRESSURE SENSOR
A pressure the sensor is a device for pressure measurement of gases or liquids. Pressure is an
expression of the force required to stop a fluid from expanding and is usually
stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor usually acts as a
transducer; it generates a signal as a function of the pressure imposed. For
the purposes of this article, such a signal is electrical.

ENCODER
SENSOR
Across a wide range of
applications, it is necessary to need to accurately sense the motion of a
rotary shaft and know its position, speed, or even acceleration. To do this, a
component called a shaft or rotary encoder is added to the motor/shaft assembly.

INFRARED SENSOR
An infrared sensor is an electronic device
that emits in order to sense some aspects of the surroundings. An IR sensor can
measure the heat of an object as well as detects the motion. These types of sensors
measure only infrared radiation, rather than emitting it that is called as a
passive IR sensor.

HUMAN
MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI)
A
Human Machine Interface (HMI) is exactly what the name implies; a graphical
interface that allows humans and machines to interact. Human-machine interfaces
vary widely, from control panels for nuclear power plants to the screen on an
iPhone.

NETWORK
MODULE
Industrial Ethernet
(IE) is the use of Ethernet in an industrial environment with protocols that
provide determinism and real-time control. Protocols for Industrial Ethernet
include Ether CAT, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, POWERLINK, SERCOS III, CC-Link IE,
and Modbus TCP.

CONCLUSION:
Sometime
some industry processing area is not suitable to human’s access because of
chemical and heavy work in that time need human less processing system in that
time can use this method to success the product. Also it can monitoring and
control remotely. This have done for small industry but by doing small change
it can use anywhere. It is like small SCADA system.
