I have a new application that involves the use of an A/B MicroLogix 1500 with an A/B Ultra 3000 Servo. I am going to be using the PTO outputs in the 1500 to control the Servo Drive. I have never used a PTO function or a Servo drive. Any information would be a great help.
Your best bet is to contact your local AB distributor and ask for their motion specialist. He should be a weatlh of information, as well as having example programs with different motion moves/indecies (indexes?).
I am going to be controlling a grinder. This machine has a grinding two grinding rocks on each side. The grinding rocks move into the part depending on certain settings from the operator.
Believe me this was not my decision! Frankly! I am sure there are a lot better solutions for this application. On the other hand you probably know how customers are. Some of them think they know more about automation than they really do. When a customer insists on using certain products then you do whatever you can to accomodate that.
