Problems Description
A plywood manufacturing company assigns you, as the engineer to design a ladder logic diagram for plywood
stacking and painting system to install into a PLC system. The system will stack the plywoods in a batch of 12
before moving toward the painting process. After the stack of plywoods is painted, the conveyor will move
toward point B, where the stack will be picked up by the operator to be packed. A push on the stop button
will stop all process. The sequence of the process is as follow:

When the ON button is pushed, a stacker (S) starts stacking plywood sheets at position A (17.00).
After 12 parts are stacked, the stacker will be de-energized and the conveyor (CV) goes on to move
the stack to position B (17.01).
The conveyor stops when the stack arrives at B.
At B, paint (P) is applied.
After painting is complete, the conveyor is moved to position C (17.02). At position C, the conveyor
stops and an operator moves the stack to pack. After a sensor (SE) senses the stack is removed, the
stacker (S) starts stacking again. This process will continue.
The stop button stops the process and reset the system any time it is pressed.
The stacker, paint, and conveyor will have indicator lights that show the status of each device.

Prepare a video presentation and technical report based on IEEE format(provided in Kalam. Maximum 6
pages). You must include the design procedures with PLC parts selection, pin configuration diagrams for the
input and output, I/O address configurations, flowchart and ladder diagram. Please explain any assumptions
that you made to your PLC panel.

Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Zero mark will be given to any party involved.
