Description
Summary:Mainly this project is to produce the Portable Honey Orange Fruit Sorter machine in low cost but still effective. An adaptor is needed to be developed to supply the system from 240Vac to the desired input value for the PLC Keyence (24V), motor (12V), sensors (12V) and external circuit that are used to connect the computer port to PLC Keyence or PIC controller (5V). Also, a 13V and 5A regulated power supply also needed to be constructed to operate the motor. For the power supply design, linear regulated power supply is a suitable choice since it is able to rectifier 240V AC main electricity to a suitable voltage supply, 5V,12V and 24V DC. A linear power supply exhibits low ripple and noise, tolerates ambient temperature changes, and is highly reliable due to its circuit simplicity.
