In this new video series we're going to write a PLC program for the process of assembling a series of components in a section of a factory. In this process, the final product will be manufactured by assembling two separate parts of the product together. This machine has two 3-phase electrical motors that are used to run the conveyor belts, two photo-eye sensors that are installed in two different positions, one hydraulic jack, and two momentary switches for starting and stopping
In the previous lesson, you learned in fine detail, how this machine works. In this lesson I'm going to start writing the PLC program in a step-by-step, easy to follow format.
In the previous lesson I wrote a PLC program that I expect to work based on the first diagram. According to this diagram, when the start switch is pressed, motor 1 is going to turn on.
When sensor 1 sees the parts, motor 1 is going to stop for a few seconds, and the jack will be active after ...
In the previous lesson, I completed the PLC program for the first interruption caused by sensor 1 and tested it in the online mode as well to make sure that everything works within my expectations.
As I promised in part 3 of this video series, I'm going to start writing the PLC program for th...
