Looking for some insight for tracking multiple parts on a conveyor.
The conveyor stretch is 150 feet long with a prox at beginning. From there is an encoder with 1000 counts per 20 feet (part lengths are 20 feet long). I can track one part with no issues, I am just trying to figure out the most efficient way of tracking multiple parts.
Right now the counts reset every time the prox hits with a new part. I have been trying to figure out a way to queue up parts and just keep adding the counts every time the prox hits.
Any help would be appreciated.
