PLC bottle filling line with a SCADA screen
Program a PLC in ladder logic for a filling line and build an operator screen with alarms.
The brief
Most factory lines run on PLCs and are watched on SCADA screens. Program a bottle filling and capping line in ladder logic on a free PLC runtime and simulator, add start, stop, emergency stop and fault handling, and build an operator screen with counts, status and alarms. Good looks like: a safe stop in every state, a tested sequence with fault cases, and an operator screen a technician understands without help.
What you will build
- Write the process sequence and I/O list
- Program the ladder logic in OpenPLC
- Add emergency stop, jam and low-level faults
- Simulate the line and test each fault
- Build the SCADA or HMI screen with alarms
- Document the logic and test results
