Well,
I'm very new to programing and am working on SLC 500's I've created a simple parts counting program that compares the number of flights on the conveyor to the number of parts going down the line
Every min. with a timer I write them to an interger then divide them to show line efficientcy.
Alls good so far, but I'm having a problem with double counting parts, Mostly due to extra material going down the conveyor.
A sensor change is possible and some more adjustment (some)can be done.
The qusetion is: Do I do some programing to filter out some of the extra counts and call it good, or continue to impale myself on the project? (this is in house and not a project for sale)
The good news is, that I am sampling every min. with excel and doing the final averages there, so on an 8 hour day at 480 samples the extra counts are'nt making a huge diffrence in the end result, except that it looks odd to make an extra part thats not there.
The results are for efficiency monitoring and not an inventory madder
Thanks Clint
