Diseño y construcción de un sistema automatizado de clasificado para elementos través de un PLC LOGO.

Abstract

This report is particularly directed to the design and construction of an autonomous system for the classification of plastic containers through their colors by the use of Arduino and as a main controller a PLC LOGO which enables the control and activation of elements from automatic means. This system relies on different elements such as electric, electropneumatic and electronics which each one of them fulfills its capacity for the correct system functioning. This module is a real construction of an autonomous industrial process which counts on an enterprise, currently the manufacturing field is making important changes, that is why they look for daily improvement through automation, this due to the benefits that brings in itself, things like production time reduction, the saving of money on feedstock and labor force, the execution of activities that were not possible from a manual form now are with a computerized system achieving high quality products and thereby uphold on the high levels of competitiveness. Hence, this automated module is built for the learning of students in a practical way and the acknowledgement of each part that constitutes it, as well as the accomplished function, which is going to shape professionals who can develop their knowledge of an appropriate manner within the work environment since companies look for skilled people that offer solutions to the problems or necessities.
