Productivity 2000 PLC Array Functions Part 3

Productivity 2000 PLC Array Functions Part 3

An array is a storage area for common data type tags. They usually have some relationship with each other and must be manipulated as a group. We can use arrays for motion control, recipe management, sequencing (indirect addressing), math, etc. The Productivity 2000 Series PLC uses arrays programmed using the Productivity Suite Software. Previously we … Read more

The Ultimate Guide to PLC Programming for Sorting Operations

The Ultimate Guide to PLC Programming for Sorting Operations

These sorting operations will sort three bottles on separate conveyor lines creating an efficient and powerful machine. The PLC will use shift registers to track and control the position of the bottles. Two pick-and-place robots will be used to move the bottles, creating an ultimate machine to program. Sequencers will be used within the PLC … Read more
