Hello, everyone I'm new to this put from what i've seen here you guys know your stuff. I'm in college learning about Automation systems, and I have a hydraulically operated robot with gears (that have limit switches, to act as primative encoders i assume). What I am curious about is, once write the program how should i go about controlling its position? Since everytime each gear moves, it sends the false to true signal via limit switch to a PLC, should i use a squencer or shift regisiter? There are only 32 teeth on these gears, also. I've got a fair amount of programming experience in RSLogiX 5 and 500. Any suggestions would be awesome, since i am perplexed at the moment! Thanks
