I have a Kinetix 300 2097-V34PR3 using a Compactlogix L35E over Ethernet.
I have a motion application on a Rotary Indexer that I am having problems with. Here's what I want the motion to do:
1. Move from 0 degrees to 270 degrees and stop.
2. Output signal that it is a 270 degrees.
3. Move from 270 degrees to 360 degrees and stop.
4. Output signal that it is at 360 degrees. This position is the same as the home position.
It will cycle between 0 - 270 - 360. Is the best way to do this is in Indexing mode with an Incremental move?
Also how can I get the Kinetix 300 to output that it is at 0/360 and 270 degrees? I'm not sure if there is an output that it is at Index0 or Index1. I would try to read the position, but that position is going to keep accumulating and will eventually rollover so I'm not sure if I want my PLC to read that and calculate if it is at 0/360 or 270 degrees.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
