Hello all,
I am currently doing a project for a client. Where they want a custom claw machine built and programmed.
The ask is for there to be one button showcased on a pedestal, that when pressed once, launches a single axis trolley and hoist to randomized areas over a pit of boxes, lowers the hoist, raises it and returns to the home position. At this point the button is ready to be pressed again to restart the effect.
I am using the Eaton Easy 621-DC-TCX PLC with Easysoft basic v6.80
I have attached the program to the thread. I have 4 inputs a "stop pb", "cycle start pb", "cable hoist limit switch", and "trolley limit switch". As well as 4 outputs. "trolley motor forward", "trolley motor backward", cable hoist motor up", and "cable hoist motor down".
I have written the attached program and am pretty confident in the fact that it is working up until the point that the hoist and axis have to return to the home position. I have a homing routine at the beginning, but I am confused and stuck on how I should go about creating another marker for the final homing routine and how I should go about it. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the program: https://www.dropbox.com/s/br3r4d4a23pv54r/Crane game rev1.e60?dl=0
