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 a 2 second delay.
When the jack is energized, after a 5 second delay, this timer is going to be true.
When the timer is true, the jack will be deactivated and motor 1 is going to run again.
Now I'm going to download the software to the simulator to see if it works as expected.
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...
In the previous lesson, I wrote a PLC program for the second interruption based on diagram 2. In this lesson, we're going to test the program in the online mode and then make the necessary changes to ensure that everything is working as we want it to.
We have been playing around with this assembly line code for several lessons and have been informed by a RealPars student of a bug that we need to address. To refresh your memory, this code has a start and stop switch, 2 conveyor belts, a motor for each belt, 2 photo-eye sensors, and a jaw type c...
