Posted 3 Dec 2016 (edited) Dear sir I want to make a rotating perfume filling machine with a 4ml, or 6ml , or and 8ml bottle filling machine and i have constructed a hard ware platformed of DC motor based rotating plat former and to stop the rotating plat former i use a proximity switch and a dc pump for filling .my problem is that i used contact less water sensor but failed the above said measurement filling. know i have two PLC of Mitsubishi alpha al 2- 14 MR-D I want to make the above said machine run on plc please any one suggest a program to above said machine but I do not have the AL-232 CAB cable so any one show me on FBD on screen entry programming. please help me.

Posted 5 Dec 2016 I would suggest you do buy the software and programming lead. Programming via the screen is not recommended. That is for minor alterations or for monitoring the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 Dec 2016 thank you sir from where i should by the software. My meaning is not from the screen but from the front key board entry of PLC Al-2 14 MR-D model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Dec 2016 In order to control the filling part you need a flowmeter that gives a high frequency signal in order for the PLC to calculate how much liquid is going into the bottles. But a precise one will cost quite a lot. I'm not familiar with Mitsubishi PLC HW to know it your PLC is compatible or not with HF input signals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Dec 2016 Andrei, Alpha cannot typically do high speed pulse input. It's a smart relay, not a PLC. Saleem, you need to contact Mitsubishi to buy the software, but it's far easier than using the front panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Dec 2016 @Crossbow Sorry for the mistake. I'm not familiar with the Mitsubishi Range but I have some experience in filling machines. For 4-6 ml bottles he needs either an extremely well timed output for the filling valves(that sometimes will work properly and sometimes not) either a PLC with a very accurate flow meter that will cost a huge amount of money.

Posted 21 Dec 2016 dear sir thank you for your suggestion i tried to fill the 6ml bottle with chines non contact water level controller sensor but it is not working Omron make non contact water level sensor E2K-L model will work for my purpose it is very costly thats why i am switching to the PLC thank you sir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
