Industrial Automation, Robotics and Industry 4.0Implementation of a weight meter through the use of Siemens S7-1200 PLC and Siwarex WP231 module, for the monitoring of the Indumak dg1000 grain dispenser in the bagging area of ​​the La Prada cereals companyAuthor: Luis Fernando Taipe ChariguamanThis project details the implementation of a weighing system to control the weight of the grain bags before being packed in bales of 25. The process begins when the bag is located in the structure of the scale, if the weight is 500g, the sleeve will be directed to a conveyor belt by activating a pneumatic piston called an ejector.The weight sensor signal is received in the Siemens S7-1200 PLC programmed with TIA Portal through the Siwarex WP231 module.Additionally, an HMI (KTP700) will display the weight of the sheath, if it is within range it turns on a green indicator light, while if it is out of range it turns on a red indicator light.©2022 infoPLC.net Industrial Automation, Robotics and Industry 4.0
