In my lab we are using Controllogix plcs and RS 5000 for programming the PLCS.
We have one PLC on a skid, and one PLC at our workbench and we were getting them to communicate using a heartbeat trigger that we would set up
----[]timer.dn---------()TON timer 200ms.
We have 16 students in the class, trying to talk to 24 plcs. This was lagging the network a little bit.
Now our teacher wants us to set up a heartbeat trigger that will not lag the system down by triggering when we have a change in the input card.
We are using Factor IO software, one skid with wired start, stop, lights and we will be programming an HMI.
I am thinking I would need to use a read/write function to complete this and use an output coil.
I am wondering if there are any books out there that address this issue so I can read and see what the logic looks like?
