Hey All,
I've been playing around with the idea of creating a "virtual" prox/starwheel/gear whatever, for times, of course, when I don't have one, nor encoder, etc. Probably not a new idea, just kinda new to me.
For instance, on a rollcase or conveyor, knowing its speed, I could position/place/track things if I had some stable reference to clock a pulse. System clock? Scan time? Last scan time? (That's currently what I'm messing with at the moment.)
Harware is currently ControlLogix, but it prolly wouldn't matter I'd reckon...
Anyone here do this? What's the best method? Thanks!
Mike
