Objects are moving on a conveyor belt 1. When an empty box 

Objects are moving on a conveyor belt 1. When an empty box is detected, conveyor belt starts and Spcs are packed in a box. When box is filled, it is carried to the storage area via conveyor belt 2. Implement automation of this process in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language. Problem diagram Pe t T10 MI Use proximity switches to detect moving objects on the conveyor belt I and to detect an empty box on conveyor belt 2. Use counter to count number of objects to be packed. Use timer such that when Spcs are detected, conveyor runs for a while and stops when Sth object is finally collected in the box. Assume time by calculating conveyor belt speed. When number of parts to be packed are detected timer is activated. When timer is over, it stops the conveyor until next empty box is detected. Assuming time taken by the last 5th object is 2sees to be collected.
