PLC logic instruction

PLC logic instruction

PLC logic instruction

(OP)
I'm interested in knowing how a 3D Array instruction is applied.  Is there anyone out there who has used this instruction in an application? What was the application and how was the 3D array instruction used?

RE: PLC logic instruction

Well not sure witch plc you are looking at but I use 3D math to calculate directions on CNC machines (XYZ). That's not so bad but on a 5 axis machine, forget about it.

RE: PLC logic instruction

Macbeth,
I am interested in how you would do 3D math.  Would it be possible to see a sample of your code?  I am not looking to use it but it has made me curious on how it works.  Entering in a coridnate & speed and it computing the feed rates so all the axis arrive at the same time.  Sounds like some advanced mathematics.

RE: PLC logic instruction

I will send some stuff witch shows how 3D math works. And how to do it by hand. I will also send (if I can find it) a "C" program that demonstrates this well. How ever it will take me a day or three.
