Rs Logix 5000 Shutter Control
Rs Logix 5000 Shutter Control
(OP)
I am using RS Logix 5000 in conjunction with a motion system for laser processing. I was wondering if there was any way to include a shutter control in the program to prevent undesired processing. Any information would be very helpful. Thanks

This will allow you to specify a precise position during a motion move at which the motion module will fire an interrupt to run a particular Task, which in turn can control your shutter.
Axis Watch events and Registration events are the fastest ways for a ControlLogix to react to external events.

I need this watch command to trigger a small electric charge from the controller and I'll pass that through a voltage amplifier to get it to the required 5 volt charge I need to activate the shutter. Thanks for any help in advance.

the poster was saying you needed the event with motion to keep it in sync to give you this correct timing. Then he assumed that you understood that you would use an output for this shutter.
