Using a PLC5/80
I have a conveyor system that has one line that diverts up to three levels. I would like the cartons to go to one level depending on the amount of cartons on the single infeed conveyor.
I could do this simply by calculating cartons per minute or amount of gap between cartons, I'm not sure how accurate this would be due to upstream conveyor issues. (ie. carton jams etc.)
I would like to check the gap every 10 secs then average the value after 1 minute. This would determine if another level should become available.
Am I making this way to difficult?
Thanks in advance.
