Hello my name is Dorrance I am very new to plc programming. I am capable to make simple programs like inputs that trigger outputs but never worked much with timers or counters.
I have a micro logics 1500 and need it to count (from a prox) how many times it cycles in 5 or 10 seconds. If the count is too high trigger an alarm if not reset the count and start over.
Basically what I want to do get an alarm when a pump runs dry. In normal operation it goes 3 to 4 strokes in 5sec when out of product it pumps 6 to 8 strokes in 5sec.
I have been working with relays and picax pic chip but not having good luck I would really like to start over with a plc
