ABSTRACT
This paper presents a small plant of the water bottle filling, capping and labelling machine, and states the comparison
between same projects using different controllers such as PLC, ARM7 controller, 8051 controller. A large number of
bottles can be filled simultaneously using PLC (Programmable Logic Control). At the same time, a project using 8051 or
89C51 controller takes more time to perform the same task and it only fills one bottle at a time. The aim of the project is to
develop an automatic machine for bottle filling, capping, and labelling to reduce labor. It is performed with superior
performance using ARM7 controller. The project stated in this paper uses a conveyor belt, which is controlled by an ARM7
processor, which manually places the bottle on the conveyor to move forward to fill with water. The graphical display
indicates the quantity of water filled in bottles and the number of bottles filled. In capping section, a robotic arm is used to
fix the cap on bottle using DC motor. In next step, the bottle gets labelled on running conveyor belt. The software used is
the embedded C programming, which guides the ARM7 processor to perform the respective tasks. The conveyor belt is
controlled with the ARM7 processor using IC LPC2148.

INTRODUCTION places the bottle on the conveyor to move forward to fill


This project is made for automation in industries with easy with water. The graphical display indicates the quantity of
programming and maintenance. The objective of the water filled in bottles and the number of bottles filled. In
project is to make an automatic machine for bottle filling, capping section, a robotic arm is used to fix the cap on
capping, labelling to reduce labour. As labour reduced, the bottle using DC motor. In next step the bottle gets
human errors are decreased (stopped) and the labelled on running conveyer belt. The software used is the
production rate and speed is increased. Furthermore, the embedded C programming which guides the ARM7
production time is reduced. The paper presents the (Advance RISC machine version 7) processor to perform
description of actual project performed based on ARM7 the respective tasks. This project is proposed for a small
controller, which is compared with the project based on plant of the water bottle filling machine. In the performed
PLC which does work speedily compared to other project there is a conveyer belt controlled with the ARM7
methods. Using PLC (Programmable Logic control), more processor using IC LPC2148. The same project is
