Hello all,
I am working on a project with an s7-1200 and I am controlling three stepper motors using this controller. I will be receiving input data from an external sensor, and using this data to jog the three stepper motors to pre-determined positions. I have all the possible positions in an excel file lookup table.
The issue with this lookup table is it has two inputs and three outputs (temperature and pressure are inputs, and for each combination of temperature/pressure, the table has a motor position for each of the three motors.) The possible motor positions were found via simulation and do not have any mathematical equations that tie them to the inputs. I was wondering if implementing this lookup table would be possible with the s7-1200, and if so what is the easiest way?
