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.
