Logix pro ladder logic bottle line simulator i already have several steps completed up to this point.
2. program the process such that after 10 bottles (large or small) have been diverted to scrap, the main and divert conveyors will stop, and the scrap conveyor will advance automatically and position a new empty scrap box under the scrap gate. the line will then restart automatically. as part of the process the output display labeled "scrap" will track the total number of scrap bottles.
3. we want to know if the process is experiencing high rate of scrap in a very short period.- the criteria is 10 broken (scrap) bottles diverted to scrap in less than 30 seconds( not bottles detected by the broken bottle detector, but bottles actually diverted to scrap). you can accomplish this a number of different ways, all ultimately using a timer. if the excessive scrap criteria is met, the program the process to behave as follows:
a. the entire process will stop.
b. the "run" light will start to flash (this light is solid while the process is running normally).
c. the process can be restarted by pressing the "start" button (right where it left off).
4. use the thumbwheel to set the total number of bottles to be processed by the line (bottles that enter the line –whether they are large, small or broken, count them all. program such that:
a. the output display labeled “boxes” will be used to track that total number of bottles that enter the line.
b. the process stops and the “run light should go off when the that set number is reached
c. the entire process is reset (counters, displays) by pressing the “enter” button. the process will then restart when the “start” button is pressed.
