In this project, a discussion about Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) application will be explained in more details and specified. This project deals with filling and mixing of different colour liquids or chemicals in bottles/ container using PLC by the application of selector switch. System is fully controlled by Bosch Rexroth IndraLogic PLC. This prototype is used in

3. Introduction
The current scenario in industries is to embrace new
technologies to proceed towards automation. The same
vision is exercised in liquid filling and mixing plants like
paint industries and pharmaceutical industries.
To meet the customer demands and accelerate the process,
all operations are nearly automated.
This project executes a method for automatic liquid filling
and mixing process which results in increased productivity
with increased accuracy.
4. Automation is the use of control systems such as computers
to control industrial machinery and process, reducing the
need for human intervention.
Why Automation?

9. LADDER LOGIC
Ladder Logic has evolved into a programming language that represent
a program by graphical diagram.
—[ ]— Normally open contact
—[]— Normally closed
—( )— Normally inactive coil
—()— Normally active ("not") coil
15. Conveyor system
It represents a continually moving surface that is
designed to move objects from one location to
another.
16. 2-Way selector switch
A 2-way selector switch is used to control the flow of
different types of liquid.
It blocks the 2 other path and opens the desired path.
For example if we want a green liquid should flow then
we will choose the desired position on selector switch, and
if we want another colour liquid to flow them we will
choose another position.
17. Relay
A relay is an electromagnetic switch operated by a relatively
small electric current that can turn on or off a much larger
electric current.
18. Reflective IR Sensor
An infrared sensor is an electronic device that emits in
order to sense some aspects of the surroundings.
19. Submersible pump
A submersible pump (or sub pump, electric submersible
pump (ESP)) is a device which has a hermetically
sealed motor close-coupled to the pump body.
20. Pneumatic system
A pneumatic system is a system that uses compressed air to
transmit and control energy.
The word ‘Pneuma’ means air. Pneumatics is all about
using compressed air to do the work.
21. Solenoid Valve
Solenoid valves can be individual or in banks (manfolds)
and usually are controlled by 24 V DC.
Operated at very less current.
Controlled by PLC.
22. Buzzer and blinking bulb
Alarm acknowledge at every 10s till higher level comes in
tank.
Blinking bulb also used to indicate level of liquids in tank.

27. Conclusion
This project has proposed an application of automation
illustrating PLC based fully automatic untouched liquid
filling and mixing system. The system meets the demand of
high speed production using the least mechanism
requirements.
The system has proved to work effectively avoiding
unnecessary spill wastage of liquids. The system also
provides high accuracy and precision in proportion of liquid
filling and mixing. Although proposed system illustrates the
mixing process of two liquids, any numbers of liquids may
be mixed in varying proportion.
