Hi!
Can any one help me out on this?
I am new to this thing, and I am trying to make a positioning system that has a lead screw whit a 5mm linear motion per rev., move by a 24dc gear motor of either a 725rpm or 215rpm (have not decided yet which one to use?) and a 1000 count encoder
It needs to be move 200mm per section and I been thinking in using an AB Pico controller.
The way I see things is to use the encoder to do 4000 count when the motor is running, stop the motor at 4000 counts punch a hole and move another 4000 counts, punch and so on for 25 section. Overall it will move 500mm.
The question is HOW CAN I CONNECT THE ENCODER TO THE PLC AND WHICH MOTOR WOULD BE THE BEST TO USE? The ladder program I have a fair idea, but if any one can help on this I would appreciated.
The motor, lead screw, the encoder I have but I am not sure about the PLC.
Thank You in advance to any one that replies
