Hello all:
This may be a very simple question, but here goes.
I have three inputs on an AB MicroLogix which are activated by photoeyes. I need to determine the order in which they transition from 0 to 1.
The existing program, not written by me, uses a latch for each input which it uses to hold the other two from being activated via XIO contacts from the other two for each of the three rungs until the level of the calling eye is satisfied.
My problem is that if two of the eyes are high at the time of transition there is no way to determine which eye will be sent material next, and one of the eyes may consistently starve.
ALL suggestions are welcome
Thanks.......
