Hi,
I am new here and a novice to programming, I want to connect an incremental encoder to a Siemens PLC CPU 313C-DP for the purpose of measuring the over travel on a conveyor belt after it is signalled to stop. I have set up a test program to run the belt forwards and backwards for a maximum of 200 stops.
Could someone tell me an easy way to log the counts for each of these stops and the simplest way to connect the encoder which has a pulse count of 3600? I am not expecting the count to be high as the drive motor is braked.
Encoder data sheet attached.
