Hi gang,
I don't even know what to call this so I can do a search on it. I need a device that I can set to a preset number (001-999) and then have a PLC read that number and act when a counter equals that number. In this particular case I need to set then number of staples a machine puts in a box. If the box need 10 then the operator will set the device (thumbwheel?) to 10 and run the order. If the next order needs 15 set it to 15, and so on.
What would this device be called?
