Hi, I'm having trouble understanding my course and I need help please. Can someone please write a program for this process? I will use the answer in my LogixPro to teach myself what is going on.
Write a program to implement the process illustrated. An up-counter must be programmed as part of a batch-counting operation to sort parts automatically for quality control. The counter is installed to divert 1 part out of every 1000 for quality control or inspection purposes. The circuit operates as follows:
• A start/stop pushbutton station is used to turn the conveyor motor on and off.
• A proximity sensor counts the parts as they pass by on the conveyor.
• When a count of 1000 is reached, the counter’s output activates the gate solenoid, diverting the part to the inspection line.
• The gate solenoid is energized for 2 s, which allows enough time for the part to continue to the quality control line.
• The gate returns to its normal position when the 2-s time period ends.
• The counter resets to 0 and continues to accumulate counts.
• A reset pushbutton is provided to reset the counter manually.
