hi guys i have a bit of a program problem with a m/c we use with 10 slots that make sheet plates these then get pulled into a holding cage of 10 slotsthey are removed from these slots one at a time and sometimes at random by using a slector switch and at level cam switch.the cam is attatched to a hiost /lifter device set at 90degrees to the plates so the plates get pulled in front of the hoist.we want to do this automatically so they get taken out in sequence but if need be out of sequence too.at the moment we have 10 limit switches that make when theres a plate present and the cam switch but when slot one has been emptied we want the cam to ignore slot one and go to two,three four etc ignoring the previous slot? this isnt happening it stops at one all the time on the cam any help would be great thanks in advance

this was perfect for my application thanks alot mate

ive converted the progam myself now but i have an issue with the timers.how to re wite the values from cuttler hammer to medoc.im only using medoc because it's old machines im working on and thats what all or elecricians are used to so its the easy option.i do have a copy of gxdeveloper but havent used it yet.most of our software is allen bradley.

hi can anyone help is there a program to convert cutler hammer to medoc.i work in a very old factory and the cutler hamer d100 plc's are giving up the ghost i just wondered if there was an easy way of doing it or do i have to rewrite the cutler hammer program to medoc manually. thank you

i'm still involved mate and thanks for your advice i think thats the way we are going to go as we have engineers that have dealt with this sort of plc software and have done for many years it would be crazy to start and re-train from scratch again

I work .
