Hello everyone,
We have can counting sensors on all our lines, i am sure all of us know why. So, one of our lines has started counting more cans than we are producing and our yield has gone way over 100%. We changed the sensor, re-did all the wire connections but did not change the wires. The count goes into a micrologix and from there it goes to our Cloud storage (another company that deals with that side). But before we call them in to investigate, i wanted to make sure that everything on our side is good. What else could be the issue, if anyone has any experience with this. I checked the controller, and it is obviously doing its job because our other lines are also routed to it and are showing reasonable numbers. Could it be the wiring? But the wires look really good and not much wear and tear, obviously who knows what is going on inside the conduits. The microcontroller input light blinks at good intervals and no drag in the blinking or anomalies, but i am assuming going by the controller input lights is not a good way to troubleshoot due to the high speed that it is receiving the inputs at.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Karin
