assembly line controller
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
Assembly Line Controller
Design an assembly line controller with the following specifications:
• master start and stop button for the whole system
• controls the conveyor for three separate assembly stations
• the controller tracks the location of parts at each station
• each station can indicate if a part has failed or is rejected, and eject it from the line
• only turns the conveyor on when all three stations indicate (digital input) that they have completed their task
• indicates to each station whether there is a part present or not
• each station has an e-stop that must be monitored and stop the machine via an interrupt
• controller stops the machine every 4 hours for a forced inspection, can only restart when all stations indicate all-clear (same digital input)
• records the number of products that reach the end of the line, the total number of rejects, number of rejects per station, and outputs data serially and end of day
