hello everyone .
I have a few basic questions on where to start at this moment . I purchased a roofing forming machine but I failed to get the controler with it . Probably got thrown away . Now I'm looking at building a controler for it .
Im looking at a few plc's but to be honest I'm stumbling in the dark . I know I need a encoder to measure the spool so I can corectly Cut lengths .
The machine has only two motors and a air fired shear . Both motors are 220v 3phase and run off a nema 1 contactor and the control circuit it 110v . not sure on the sheer seloniod atm I can look it up .
I'm looking to be able to adjust lengths and have the plc stop both motors and fire the sheer and restart and continue in a loop . For the desired amount of sheets .
I found a few plc' but when it comes to finding a encoder and being able to know if it's compatible I'm lost .
I Plan on trying to do this myself so I can learn it .
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Sorry for the bad Grammer in advance .
