Hi all,
We are having a situation where airlocks are getting jammed, so we are reversing direction to the motors on them. They are having operators swap wires in a dust environment, which as you all know is not good.
I'm trying to design a push button that would reverse direction of the motor. The motor is a powerflex 40 which is connected to the program. I know how to add the button but I'm a bit stuck for how to get the motor to reverse. I imagine I could program it so that the value on a bit changes with the push button and use that to latch a rev or forward command, but I think there should be a way just using the button itself in FTView SE.
Any thoughts?
