Team,
I have a pick-2-light that does something odd.
Issue: When materials scans a barcode, if the barcode has not been asigned a bin location, Rack 1, bin 15 lights up.
Back ground info: Allen Bradley PLC, we have 2-15 bin racks side by side. Operator scans barcode and the plc, using two FSC functions, looks for the correct bin. IE Rack 1 bin 2 or Rack 2 bin 2.
As mentioned in the Issue Section, if a barcode is incorrect, or has not been assigned a bin location, bin 15 on rack 1 lights up.
I have several of these stations, this is the only one that does this. I have deleted the entire routine and copied over the routine from a sister station that works good. No change.
I haven't used FSC functions very much, they seem to work out well if you have the presets done correctly. I am just not sure if there is something I can do to "test" this function out.
I currently have some logic that compares what is scanned to what is actually assigned to that location and clearing the scan data in the event the FSC finds bin 15 with the wrong part number.
I asked my contact at the integrator about it, he said that was something they tried because they figured it would be less code writing to use that function, but that they did struggle with it to work properly during development. He did ask to shoot him an email about what I did to correct the issue so that he can not do whatever it is he did to cause this.. if anything.
Currently the fire is out, but I feel there is something that I am missing.
Gad
