Hello All,
I am new to PLC's, I apologize before hand for asking a stupid question.
I'll give some background of what I am trying to achieve here. I am designing a tube cutting machine which would feed the tube and measure it with the help of an encoder. Once the desired length is achieved it would stop feeding and cut the tube. The process will start again until the batch size is reached.I have zero experience in ladder logic and I am eager to learn how to implement my idea.
I am using HE-EXL1E6 PLC and TR1-U1R4-1024NV1 ROCF00 Encoder. How would I write a ladder logic code to make the two talk using a high speed counter to track the pulses and how should those pulses be converted in to inches?
Please direct me to sample ladder logic codes for encoders if there are any.
Thank you,
Waasay
