842e Encoder...

How do I plant / or what instruction do I use in my ladder logic to display my encoder value for comparison instructions on my Studio 5000 program I'm building?

This is a footage counter program for a cut to length process I'm working on...

I'm fairly novice with PLC's and really need some help...

You have to use a high speed module like 1756-HSC or 1769-hsc.

or an encoder input module. It depends on what your PLC setup is. Go in your tag database and find the encoder input

You need to put the encoder in the Ethernet/IP I/O network. Then you need to find out which of the input words contains the position value. then you need to scale counts to distance.

Its and Ethernet/IP encoder, guys.

OK, that's another animal.

Yea, that makes a difference.

In your ethernet Comms tree, add it as you would any I/O module or drive. The tags will be added to your project automatically. I believe the count value you're looking for will be <what you named the encoder>.Value or .Count or something like that. It's pretty straightforward.
