ounters and move instructions

5 posts in this topic

Hi, I want to count the total amount of finished parts that leave our conveyor. Counting is the easy part. How would I go about resetting my counter at the end of the 8 hour shift and move that total to a main storage area that would just keep adding so that everytime I went on line I could see the total parts during the shift as well as total parts alltogether? I am using a S7-200. Thanks Edited by mr_electrician

You can set the real time clock by selecting PLC in the menu bar at the top, and then selecting Time Of Day Clock. I choose Read PC clock selection. Edited by mr_electrician

Hi, you must add on the network 3 a positive edge transition in series with VB3 (in the PDF example from above). About the real time clock: is not supported by all the S7-200 PLC. Check before. dekor.

Thanks Dekor, This mistake I could recognise only on working project. I'm system integrator, sometimes a lot of hours looking at machine and thinking what to do with programing
