I'm no longer working there but the whole operation was run on a AB SLC5/04. There were no MLX1500 when this was built. I can't remember the exact I/O count but there had to be at least a dozen limit swithes and photoeyes on this thing. Also had manual contol inputs for the operator. Your machine sounds very similar to this one but we didn't have the automatic seperator feature you have. The operator had to do that. Real tough job. Not many outputs as I remember. maybe 6 or 7. Input conveyor, lift, sweep arm, ouput conveyors(3), empty pallet stacker(2).
