I am trying to create an agnostic product queue builder using PLC ladder logic.
I have a pallet conveyor and would like to be able to use a NO or a NC device in the field without changing my programming. Ideally it would become plug and play. Allen Bradley, RS Logix 5000, V20.
Is this possible?
My current application is using sensors to detect how many pallets are in the buffer. I have three sensors. So I currently can detect up to 3 pallets in my buffer. I have used a TON to add to the buffer count and a TOF to sub to the buffer count. A sensor was damaged and replaced with one that provides an inverted signal. I was curious how to go about programming this into the logic. I think if it is possible it would be very beneficial for all sorts of applications.
Thank you for your time!
Dustin
