I have been given the task to have an in feed conveyor follow a main conveyor’s position with correction.
I am currently using a Bosch ECO (DKC) drive with an analog signal to feed a product onto a separate conveyor. We are having problems with the product timing, and I have been given this project to correct our problems. I don’t feel that the programming will be my biggest hurdle, rather the scan time on the processor. I am looking to use a micrologix 1100 series processor with a 1769 HSC and 1769 analog output card. The drive being controlled will have to follow the main drive speed with correction. Will the scan time of approx. 2ms be a problem?
Also any programming demonstrations for HSC are welcome.
