First off, I am new to the whole PLC world and was tasked with a project at work. I was given a Click C0-11dre-D, Honeywell 310G barcode scanner, and an airtac 4v110-06 valve.
I am suppose to have the scanner scan a package on a conveyor belt and then have it sorted to an area based on the data from the bar code. Seemed simple...
The idea I had was when the package goes by the scanner, it compares the data with some set values, and whatever comes to be true activates a timer and when the timer is up it sends an output to the valve with an arm to push the package.
My first question is can the PLC take the input from the scanner every few seconds and have multiple timers running at the same time or am I going about this the wrong way?
Are there an sample programs I can look at?
Or any good training resources?
Thank you
