I have 2 shift registers with the first handing off to the second. The second register must move the bits through twice as fast as the first...but both registers are triggered by the same pulse from a proximity switch. The second register corresponds to a section of machine that mechanically moves twice as fast. My brain isn't working well today so I'm looking for some ideas to "double pulse" the second shift register. I tried parallelling the on and off pulses from the proxy with separate ONS after them, but I think the pulse duration is too short because I wasn't getting anything close to "double" (at least that's what a test counter told me). Maximum pulses per second is about 40, with 2mm wide surface activating the input. This is a CompactLogix system with DC input (IQ32). Thanks!
