For a school project, i have to program a small station that puts covers on parts.
One requierment is, if the stop button is pressed, the operation stops, then resume from where it left off again once start is pressed again, for some reason i cannot think of a simple way to to this while maintaining it's position in the program, and holding all outputs where ever they may be.
One more thing, i have approximetly 4 sequencers programed for the station and was thinking of making them subroutines. by using a jsr to jump to it, and possibly have for example to run the next step once the sequencer is done an equal like R6:0.POS = 6, and was wondering if it is at all possible, or am i merely overcomplicating things.
Note: The PLC is a MicroLogix 1500 LRP Series C
