Second step:
When the bottle reaches under the solenoid valve, the
normally open conntact (sensor) will be ON and make the
valve ON and the motor OFF (conveyor stop).
Third step:
When valve ON, the PLC timer (ON-Delay timer) become
active hence the valve is filling the bottle at time (5 sec) by
the timer. When the timer finishes, the valve will be OFF and
motor is ON again and hence the conveyor belt carrying the
bottol away from the valve and the whole process will repet
again.

4. Conclusion
An automatic water filling machine system for different
sized bottles by using PLC has been developed and
implemented. The PLC is used in this system to get more
productivity with less time high reliability for and flexible in
work. The system is designed to working with different sized
bottles by simply change the program. The ladder diagram
language is used in this paper because this language is very
useful and has a lot of functions so that most of the industrial
application uses this language.
