Logix 500 question
Hello, I am a newbie on here so please be gentle!!
I have been given a project to detect product jams on a conveyor system.
The conveyor already has 5 pec's on it to operate brakes as the line fills up. The brakes then open in sequence to release product to the next machine downstream. The logic would be that if any downstream pec is false ( no product) and an upstream one is true then an alarm would be activated.
I could do it with n/o n/c contacts but with 32 possibilities I need a neater version.
any ideas would be most helpful
regards
Jo
