Conveyor FIFO (first in first out) w/Reject
By Chris Elston in PLC Sample Code
Classic example of a FIFO (First in First Out) Load and Unload.
Application was bottles coming down a conveyor system at a "variable" rate and sporadic. Sometime 10 bottles would be grouped together all in single file others they would be spaced out oneisy twoisy.
A photoeye was used in a vision cell up stream this photo triggered the vision system and loaded the FIFO at the same time.
A photoeye was placed downstream next to an air blow off nozzle. This created a "zone" at which you could load and unload the FIFO and keep track of bad bottle in-between your zone. Bottle QTY could vary between the vision photoeye and reject photoeye.
The vision system was triggered and part status was loaded into N7:0. A 1 means good part a 2 means bad part. The 1 or a 2 was loaded into a FIFO and placed into N7:1 at the reject air station. If the FIFO status equals 1 at reject it was allowed to pass if equal to 2 the air nozzle was turned on under a timed blow off.
This was a field installed retrofit project that involved a 10 point Micrologix 1000 that cost $72.00 4 Keyence Vision systems and 2 Banner EZ-Beam photoeyes. Cake work.
