PLC Converting encoder pulses to hmi display
PLC Converting encoder pulses to hmi display
(OP)
I have an application where i am using a slc 5/05 controller. i have a quadrature encoder connected to a high speed counter. I have to transfer the pulses recieved from the encoder to diplay line speed on my hmi in ft/min. The encoder is tracking material at various line speeds. Is there a function in the rs logix 500 software that can convert the pulses? or what can be done to achieve this. Id sure appreciate the help.





RE: PLC Converting encoder pulses to hmi display
(x pulses/sec.)(y ft./pulse)= z ft./sec
RE: PLC Converting encoder pulses to hmi display
ratio(ft/rev) x encoder(rev/pulses) x Period (pulses/sec)
The period (1/frequency) can be calculated on-line by measuring the time between pulses (or revolution, set of pulses, etc) ...
