I was hoping to get a little insight on adding an encoder to an already existing down bottle ejection from conveyor system. I am using a Banner MA4G Logic module and a MA5 delay module. The problem is the swings in conveyor speeds are a little to great, and what is need is a delay based from...

Thanks for all of your responses, to give you A little more insight I am trying to troubleshoot a shrink wrapper and problem is that on an intermittent bases the knife that cuts the film should only make one revolution. It is triggered by a Photo Eye. Once the film is feed via servo drive, there...

Could someone give me some ideas I would like to capture the pulse time for a pulsing input to A PLC, and would like to maitain the time for evaluating untill the next pulse.Just need some help with ladder instructions.

with a compact logic (L35E) what do i need to do to program for a analog 4-20 output. looks like based on three photo eye's on an accumulation table I will need to speed up or slow down the upstream conveyor feeding this table. any ideas on how and what instructions to use for this?

Thanks for the heads up PLCmentor I do have the resistors installed thanks.I have the devicenet covered and now am looking at implementing a panelview plus, does anybody know of any short cuts or crash course information that would step me through creating and configuring communications with a...

amptramp I do appreciate the devicenet link, it did help, and is exactly what i was looking for.

I'm trying to get my feet off the ground with Devicenet. In my spare time I have configured a vary simple network and am trying to get familiar with the steps required to get it up and running. and also make changes in addressing the I/O's. Below is a list of hardware for my practice. Control...

where is the cheapest source for cables, looking for 1784-pcm5 1784-pcm4 and 1761-cbl-pm02. thanks for help

I'll try this another way, hope you can read ithttp://picasaweb.google.com/gonehuntingalbum/200911Nov?authkey=Gv1sRgCMrwioe3nuy3JQ#5407093939887961522

I was asked to use a micro logic to control 5 lights/outputs, the only input is from a photo eye. I have the logic set up with the PE triggering the TOF and 5 outputs for the lights being triggered by 5 LIM. what i need this to do is once the PE is flagged the timer needs to time out...

In are plant the majority of plc's are on the network,If know the IP address boom your there. we have A hand full that are not on the network and sometimes I get tripped up. I'm attempting to go online with A micro logix 1000, I was given the cables to get me started. I'm using the USB with A...

Any advice on how to get started with using Devicenet?

Any ideas would be helpful, Was wondering how to get started cutting code for an analog 4-20 input from a flow meter which will wind up controling an AC drive for A mill that is located downstream of the flow meter. End result requires constant flow to mill to prevent mill from running without...

Hello Jones29847. I've got A quick question.I have worked myself into the controls dept. The Engineers have set me up with access to the controls software, and have turned me loose to learn on my own the software logic 5000 and slc 500, with limited guidance. Any heads up you can give me to make...
