PLC AND HMI Controlled Automated Bottle Filling Station
Hytech Didactic Bottle filling station is an individual mechatronics station operating on Siemens S7 1200 PLC and Siemens KTP 700 HMI.
Actual bottle filling application as well as cap assembly is carried out on this station in integration with PLC, HMI, Digital AC Servo Motor and Pneumatically actuated systems.
User can control the complete station through IIOT based remote controlled operations.
User is expected to carry out entire ladder programming to achieve desired results. Licensed Software for programming of PLC – HMI and Servo Motor are provided along with this system.
Bottle filling station is completely integrated with Siemens MCD – Mechatronics Concept Designer software which acts as a digital twin software with remote commissioning facility. IIOT with Siemens Nano box can also be integrated with this station.

Operation Steps:
Step 1: Bottle Is Fed Into The System From Conveyor
Step 2: Bottle Goes Inside The Indexing Module
Step 3: Indexing Module Indexes The Bottle Below Feeder Module
Step 4: Feeder Module Is Actuated To Fill The Bottle
Step 5: Indexing Module Indexes The Bottle To Capping Module
Step 6: Cap Is Installed On The Bottle Automatically
Step 7: Bottle Comes Out Of The System On The Conveyor
