I'm about to start a program for the above mentioned subject.
I'm a "now and then" plc guy so bare with me pls. Was on this site before and had some great help.
My project is fairly simple I suppose but I generally use to many rungs and contacts.
I've yet to start the ladder but some info:
1- Two 5 hp 480 drill motors drilling simultaneously.
2- One 5hp 480 Hydraulic pump motor.
3- One directional ( Up/ Down drill motors)120 vac hydraulic solenoid.
4- One 120 vac hydraulic solenoid for conveyor motor.Operates forward direction only.
5- Start / Stop pb
6- Air PSI sw
7- Jam LS
8- Material presence LS ( actuating drill sequence:
Conveyor stops
Two pneumatic stops raise stopping wood
Drill Motors lower and drill until bottom drill postion LS is engaged.
Drill motors return to Upper LS and "Home position LS" are engaged.
Stops lower.
Conveyor starts again for next piece.
9- Two EM stops ( stops everything )
10-Two "clear" PB's raises motors and stops conveyor.
And that's it.
Is this something for a DRUM?
I plan on using a Clic PLC btw
