As I enter my final year in a college controls programme we were given a project to build and programme a machine that completes a task. I’ve been lucky enough to be working for an company in the automation industry that is willing to donate an AB 500 series plc, a panelview 600 and some other materials I could use for this project (I have an electrical crib and maintenance crib at my disposal pneumatics electrical components all that fun stuff) I’m trying to think of tasks that are original. In the past students have done pneumatic can crushers and similar machines. Anyone have any suggestions for a project of this sort?
