Darren,
What 405 CPU are you using? How many events, parts of whatever do you have to keep track of? Do they have to be uniquely identified?
Give some details....
Mike.
Hi, Ok here is the senerio I am using a color eye to detect boxes, that are of three different colors, EG. red boxes, blue boxes, green boxes. We have a box maker, that produces these colored boxes, and they travel along a conveyor, and will be diverted via a pusher at different stations.
What I want to do is build a program, in ladder to track these boxes via a FIFO instruction or something, and then a compare instruction at each drop off location. If the photo eye at lets say red diverter drop offsees a box, then push the box, if the data in the FIFO is equivelant to the word data in the compare instruction, if those values are the same push the box.
If the values are different, then load another FIFL. Something like that. There are only three drop off locations, asociated for each color box. I am only using one color eye, to do this.
The processor I have is a D4 440 405 Direct Logic, but the software I have is older, ver 2. Directsoft
I dug this processor out of an old machine, so I will use it for this project.
Let me know what you think,
Darren
