Hi
I'm been using ladder to program my sequence logic all the while. However due to customer req, I have to use SFC this time.
Any experts in this forum can give advice on the following conversion from ladder to SFC:
In laddder, I always write my sequence control in between an MCR and MCREND. The condition to trigger the MCR is when Estop button is not pressed and I will always go back to the start of sequence control when Estop is released and reset button is pressed. Therefore during Estop condition, all the rungs in between the MCR and MCREND will not be true.
My question is in SFC programming, how can I do a Estop routine in an efficient way to immediately stop my sequence and reset to the start of the SFC? Right now, I'm putting the Estop bit in every SFC transition so that the sequence will not jump to the next step when Estop happens. Thks a zillions in advance
