1. HIGH SPEED DISCRETE CONTROL Sponsored by Emerson - Process Management Lacey Latour San Nguyen Andrew Roessler

2. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this design project was to design a high- speed discrete controlled working model. Be controlled by a programmable logic controller or PLC. Be able to fit on a cart & able to be moved. Go from a discrete input to discrete output in 5 to 50 ms.

3. PROJECT We have decided to make a palletizer that will fit the specifications requested

4. HARDWARE Barcode Scanner - to be able to read the object being sorted Robotic arm - to move the color blocks onto their associated pallet Conveyor belt

5. HOW IT WILL WORK Various color blocks will be set on conveyor belt The barcode scanner will read the color associated with the various blocks The robotic arm will then get a signal from the barcode scanner telling it which color block it read The robotic arm will then pick up the blocks and place on a pallet with the other similar color blocks

6. PROJECT TASKS Order parts for the simulator. Implement code to PLC. Construct the simulator. Testing & debugging.

7. DELIVERABLES Have a working simulator – defined in ‘How it will work’, performing 100% accuracy. Have a minimal delay for changing tasks within 5 – 50 ms. Have the dimensions for the simulator be within the cart dimensions.
