B) You have been contracted to design a PLC program for a colour
sorting station. The system has 2 colours to differentiate between.
Your system has 1 start pushbutton and 1 stop pushbutton. The
system is using actuators to extract the parts from the magazine
and to direct them towards the designated hopper. The system uses
actuator to move the parts along the conveyor and through the
sensor used for colour selection. Requirements: 1) Provide a ladder
logic diagram for the system. (5 marks) 2) Provide details on how
the colour sensor operates. (5 marks) 3) Provide details on the
used actuators for the parts extraction and the parts movements. (5
marks)
