ECT286 Automation and Control Systems Final Report

In this report, the culmination of knowledge gained during the extent of ETC 286 will be demonstrated by utilizing the LogixPro software. With the software, two simple DC motors, two proximity switches, and two conveyor belts will be simulated. This simulated scenario will revolve around the task of packing a box to a desired level. When an empty box is detected, a conveyor belt is activated to fill the box. The proximity sensor will then confirm the box is filled to the appropriate amount. Inside of the software a custom program was developed in ladder logic.
