Operator Taught Sequence - Controlling Cylinders

[gclshortt]

The following is a post that was recently done. I thought that I would share...

We will program a sequencer controlling seven cylinders that can be taught. The cylinders can be operator programmed from the AdvancedHMI screen. You will be able to select what cylinders to activate at each step and program in 500 steps. Our PLC will be the Do-More from Automation Direct.

We will be using AdvancedHMI to communicate Modbus TCP to the Automation Direct Do-More Designer Software Simulator.
The following is the sequence of operation:

Let me know what you think.
Thank you,

The original program was for a tube bending machine. This was done with an Omron PLC. This version also has additional indicators on the cylinders to determine the differences between the input step sequence. This feature is good for troubleshooting the machine.
