hello,
i'm new to the world of PLCs. i'm still a student and i have some questions regarding an assignment i received.
the problem is the following: there is a conveyerbelt and a senzor which ids the object that is placed on the conveyerbelt. after the identification process the object is moved along the conveyerbelt until it reaches a flap, the flap opens and the object is removed from the conveyerbelt. there are as many flaps as objects i consider. i know the speed of the conveyerbelt and the distance from the id senzor to all the flaps and i must do a program which,after the id process, will stop the conveyerbelt where the coresponding flap is and open it. i can't use senzors to detect the presence of an object on the flap. as help i recieved the indication to search in the data conversion operators to find something useful. i use isagraf. i found the OPERATE operator but i can't find some good explination on the way it works.
pardon my english. thanks a lot!
