Automation of line model for sorting by sample color using programmable logic controller S7-1500 in programming language LAD

U radu je ostvarena automatizacija modela linije za sortiranje predmeta po boji. Važniji dijelovi modela linije jesu: istosmjerni motor koji pogoni traku, pet fototranzistora, kompresor, tri pneumatska cilindra, te ključni dio, optički senzor boja. Procesom upravlja PLC S 1500. Kao razvojno okruženje koristio se je TIA Portal, a program je pisan u jeziku LAD. Nakon uvodnog dijela opisivanja općenite arhitekture PLC – a, opisan je algoritam rada prihvata predmeta, određivanja njegove boje, te sklanjanje predmeta s trake na za to predviđeno mjesto. Drugi dio zadatka bio je izraditi sučelje čovjek – stroj, odnosno HMI. Za izradu HMI – a također se je koristio TIA Portal, a opisani su izgled i funkcionalnost HMI – a.Subject of this bachelor thesis was automation of line model for sorting by color. Main parts of line model are: DC motor, five phototransistors, compresor, tree pneumatic cylinders, optical color senzor. PLC that was used was Siemens's S 1500. Code was written in TIA Portal, in LAD programming lanugage. First was introduced general architecture of PLC. Main part of thesis was descritpion of algorithm used for manipulation of objects on conveyor. Second task was develop human – machine interface, wich was also created in TIA Portal
