Hello all....
First off, this place looks very Kewl and I look forward to spending some time here. I have been around many boards like this with many topics but this is te first time I every hit one for PLC's! Kewl!
Ok...
I am looking to do a little motion control unitizing PLC 5 (5/80) and a laser.
All safety aspects aside (although strongly considered), I am looking for some example code and general thoughts and ideas.
·This machine travels smoothly about 1000 feet both directions on
rails
·Machine is DC driven with collector rails to power motor
·Communicate to the Drive 1203 Remote I/O Communications Module
·I believe the feed back from the laser is 4-20 but I might be
mistaken. (Still on the drawing board)
·I need to position this machine in many places with in the 1000’
with a tolerance of about ½” or less
·Naturally I will need to accelerate the machine, and slow it
gradually to the stopping point.
·I really wish I was using Rslogix 5000 but I am not
I appriciate any feed back and look forward to helping out anyone that I can as well.
Thanks all
