In today's production systems, industrial automation systems are preferred in order to provide high-efficiency and high-qualityproduction, and therefore it is continuously developing. PLC is the basis of programmable industrial automation systems. In thestudy, in the PLC controlled conveyor belt system, the process of separating the objects according to their color by image processingwas realized in real-time. In the image processing application, recognition is recognized by separating objects according to theircolors. The process of sending objects separated by classes to different containers in the system is also done in real-time. Theconveyor belt system used in the study was controlled by S7-1200 PLC. Image processing was performed in Matlab. Communicationbetween Matlab and PLC has been used with the OPC interface application, which is widely used in the industry.This study, experimental prototype of an automation system that is widely used in industrial applications, has been successfully made.Matlab program was used in the image processing part of the conveyor belt object separation system, PLC program was integratedinto communication and control part, and it was seen in experimental studies that the system was working efficiently in real-time. Ithas been observed that the image processing algorithm for this study has been successfully performed to sort objects according totheir colors, PLC-OPC system communication, and separation of objects according to specified positions. As a result of the studies onthe experimental prototype, it is foreseen that this system can be applied to a commercial or industrial system.
