Any ideas using"Shift Registers"for Vision Failures on long conveyors for Dump Gate?
Good Morning ,
We are starting a quality program using vision systems. The vision system is going to be about 300' from the dump gate , and it would take the failed part almost 15 minutes to get to the Dump Gate.
I was thinking of using a shift register , and using the fail signal from the Vision System to put a 1 in the PLC , so as long as we have a 0 all the product is good , when a 1 reaches the position that the Dump Gate would be ,it would activate the valve to open the dump gate.
My question is , how many bits can you put in a BOOL Dim 0 array , so that I can have enough to accurately determine a 1 at the Dump Gate.
I imagine I would need a bunch.
I'm sure you folks have some better ideas.
Thanks so much in advance ,
