Hi, so I am just getting into PLC's for a project and am looking at using the Allen Bradley 2711C PanelView C600 in combination with a Micrologix 1200 PLC.
The plan is to have the panelview be the menu for the system which allows what specific tests will be run. This is communicated with the PLC via the serial connection and the PLC will then pulse a Motor Driver in order to set the correct motor directions/speed etc.
Basically, the motor driver is a 2 axis driver, it has a few different inputs (clock, direction, speed) etc that need to be pulsed with 5v signals.
I want to make sure the PLC, using relay outputs, can supply these pulses to the driver?
Also, is what I have detailed possible with this system? I am a little confused about how to go about all of this using only ladder logic but I'm assuming its possible. I appreciate any suggestions/comments
Thanks!
