Resumen

This article the automation of a label dispenser system for fruits using a programmable logic controller PLC is presented. The finite state machine method is used for the system and programming design, the boolean algebra and the Karnaugh maps allow simplifying the transition table of a Moore state machine. These methods permit a simplified implementation process for the Ladder language using industrial IEC 61131-3 standard. Experimental results performed with a prototype have validated the propose in acceptable levels, enabling the labeling of the fruits transported in the process.
