Dear Friends;
I want to calculate the speed of sheet produced by corrugator machine. For this purpose, I want to make 6 holes in a measuring wheel and fix a proximity sensor for getting 6 pulses per revolution which will go to a digital input card. This measuring wheel is (originally) placed on the sheet and run with the sheet speed. The maximum speed of this measuring wheel is 340rpm and thus we will get 2040Pulses/rev (34HZ) from proximity sensor. I have SLC 5/03 (program have 70rungs) and input card IB-32. Now my questions are;
1) Can IB-32 register the pulse having frequency 34HZ?
2) Can I increase the holes in wheel for getting more pulses for fast updating of speed in program?
Thanks in advance.
