In this lesson, Factory I/O and our PLC program are now connected and we will start the factory simulation to see how our code checks out. We will discuss normally closed field devices and how they will function within our code. We will also discuss how the retro reflective sensor works and get into some special configuration options for selecting the types of boxes and pallets that we want to simulate in the factory environment.
Let’s open this lesson up and watch all the animation.
In the previous lesson, we had our PLC software connected to the Factory I/O software. We were able to start and stop the equipment, verify product counts passing by the retro reflective sensors, all using the Factory I/O animated simulation and our program.
One thing that we have not yet dis...
