So I am fairly new to programming (1.5yrs). I’ve taught myself and have made some pretty good headway so far. I’ve programmed a couple of small conveyors and a few other small projects. On one of our conveyors we want to be able to shut the entire process down if a part is not seen as moving. I have an analog out laser sensor from Keyence (LR-TB5000C). How would I go about having a constantly changing analog input prove a part is moving. Example: a part falls from above on the conveyor at 36” from face of sensor. At 48” the sensor signals the next part to fall. The sensor has a NO output and an analog output. The sensor also offers a windowed output. It also offers two discreet outputs in lieu of the one discreet and one analog output. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
