ABSTRACT

This internship report highlights the practical experience and technical skills gained during my internship
at Fenwick and Ravi (FAR), a leading manufacturer specializing in automation solutions. My primary
focus areas were the Quick Feeder (QF) bar feeder system, the intermediate magazine for the auto loader,
and the implementation of motor control using a Delta Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)—all integral to
modern CNC machine automation.

During the internship, I was actively involved in the panel board wiring and feedback switch analysis of
the Quick Feeder system. This included hands-on work with proximity sensors used for bar detection,
positioning, and error handling, as well as HMI interfacing to monitor and control feeder operations. I
participated in the full-cycle testing process to verify proper sensor feedback and reliable signal
communication with the PLC.

Additionally, I contributed to the design and implementation of the intermediate magazine for the auto
loader, where I assisted in developing automation logic for seamless part transfer and loading. This
enhanced my understanding of sensor placement, timing coordination, and control logic design in an
industrial setup.

Furthermore, I worked on the VFD-based motor control project using a Delta VFD055E43A, where I
performed the wiring for a Siemens 3-phase induction motor and studied key parameters like V/f control,
frequency settings, and protection features. This project deepened my knowledge of variable speed drive
systems and energy-efficient motor operation.

Overall, this internship significantly strengthened my skills in PLC programming, control panel wiring,
sensor integration, and motor drive control, giving me a solid foundation for a career in industrial
automation and control systems.

Intermediate Magazine for Auto Loader
2.1 Introduction to Intermediate Magazine for Auto Loader
The Intermediate Magazine for Auto Loader is a semi-automated system designed to reduce manual
handling in manufacturing or assembly environments, especially where frequent job loading and
unloading is required. This system utilizes a Delta PLC (DVP-14SS2) to control the cylinder operations
and job pickup mechanisms in a predefined sequence, ensuring accurate and safe transfer of components
from magazine holders to the machine workspace.

This project focuses on creating a programmable solution using ladder logic to control various pneumatic
cylinder movements such as forward, down, up, and reverse, based on feedback from sensors. The system
ensures proper synchronization between magazine job presence detection and cylinder actuation.

In addition, the project emphasizes eliminating human error, increasing loading efficiency, and reducing
operator fatigue. The operation is initiated via a start button, and it executes the cycle based on input
from job sensors, cylinder position sensors, and timers that help delay or pace each movement for smooth
operation.

By using the Delta DVP-14SS2 PLC, the system achieves reliable performance in real-time control.
Inputs from photoelectric sensors ensure that jobs are detected before any motion occurs, and solenoids
control the pneumatic cylinders precisely. The use of timers introduces necessary delays to simulate
realistic mechanical movements, such as waiting for full extension or retraction before proceeding to the
next stage.

The integration of this system into an automated production line brings advantages such as increased
productivity, consistent job handling, and reduced need for manual supervision. With proper calibration
and programming, the intermediate magazine auto loader proves to be a valuable addition to smart
manufacturing practices.

Conclusion
During my internship, I gained extensive hands-on experience in industrial automation and control
systems, working on three key projects: the Quick Feeder Bar Feeder, the Intermediate Magazine Auto
Loader, and Motor Control using Delta VFD.
In the Quick Feeder project, I learned the importance of precise synchronization for automated bar
feeding in CNC machines. I worked with components such as feedback sensors, relays, SMPS, and
contactors, and developed skills in reading electrical schematics, wiring control panels, and
understanding PLC-based control logic.
The Intermediate Magazine Auto Loader project introduced me to pneumatic actuation, sensor
integration, and ladder logic programming for sequence control. I enhanced my understanding of timer-
based automation, interlocking, and safe wiring practices in real-world setups.
In the VFD-based motor control project, I studied the Delta VFD055E43A, wired it to a Siemens 3-phase
motor, and reviewed key parameters such as V/f control, frequency limits, and overload protection. This
project deepened my knowledge of variable speed motor control and energy-efficient automation.
Key Skills Gained:
✓ Control Panel Wiring & Component Integration – Hands-on experience with MCBs, relays,
contactors, SMPS, VFD, and sensors.
✓ PLC Programming & Ladder Logic Development – Designed and debugged logic for auto
loaders and material feeders.
✓ VFD Setup & Motor Control – Studied and wired a Delta VFD, and prepared parameter settings
for safe motor control.

testing and commissioning.
This internship has significantly enhanced my practical understanding of industrial automation, motor
control, electrical systems, and PLC/VFD-based control logic. The experience not only improved my
technical competence but also strengthened my ability to work independently, collaborate with
engineering teams, and solve real-time engineering challenges. It has laid a strong foundation for my
