PLC Logic Control for The Sorting station

This project centers around the creation of a logic system that digital twins two PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and a robotic arm. These PLCs control two stations, which together illustrate a simplified yet industrially relevant process for basic automation training.

The system demonstrates fundamental automated production functions including separating, feeding, identifying, and sorting. This foundational setup provides a comprehensive training tool, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical application in modern automated production.

Each additional station introduces new learning objectives, enhancing the efficiency of knowledge transfer to real-world automation scenarios. This ensures a robust understanding of automation technology and its practical applications.
