I am having some difficulty with this. I am getting short counts. almost always 1 short. I am using AB micrologix 1100. and a BSL instruction. I have a newspaper gripper conveyor about 150 grippers long from a machine that inserts ads into the papers out to a stacking machine. At the end the papers drop onto a flat conveyor for the last 5 ft. I have a sensor(A) counting grippers with papers in them before they drop on conv. and a gear and prox on the flat conv. roller that I use to shift the BSL with. I am using the input from sensor(A) to set the bit address. The object is to have the count at the end of the flat conveyor where the papers stack up to 50 and then drop the bundle away.
