PEMBUATAN KONVEYOR PENGISIAN BEJANA MENGGUNAKAN KONTROL PID
Abstract
Currently some of the equipment in the laboratory is still using manual charging. Then a conveyor
filling vessel was made in the laboratory automatically. Previously the conveyor was designed to use
an on-off control system but there were still shortcomings in the filling process which was not as
expected. Designed vessel fillor conveyor using PID control system. By using the PID control system
the process of filling the solution in a vessel is obtained by filling results precisely, thoroughly, and
safely. Semi automatic vessel filling conveyors are designed using the 2016 AUTODESK INVENTOR
program. The process of making conveyor machines goes through several processes of preparing
materials, cutting processes of materials, welding processes, mounting frames, mounting components,
and making electrical circuits. In this tool installed several main components including: ultrasonic
sensors, Arduino UNO, flowmeter sensors, selenoid valve, conveyor belts, rollers, pumps, DC motors,
relays, and gearboxes. All components will be installed in a framework that uses angled iron, CNP
canal, and acrylic with a thickness of 5 mm. The vessel filler conveyor can transport several vessels in
sequence. Each vessel has a maximum liquid capacity of 500 ml. Bejan filler has dimensions of length
100 cm, width 30 cm and height 40 cm. The results of testing the work of the vessel filler in the process
of filling the solution, in experiment 1 obtained an average of 443.33 ml in 61.29 seconds, experiment
2 obtained an average of 443.33 ml in 62.4 seconds, and experiment 3 was obtained an average of
443.33 ml in 61.7 second.
