Example 3: Diverter Operation
This example demonstrates basic control logic to operate a diverter in a conveyor
system. The diverter directs parts from an upstream conveyor to one of two
downstream conveyors. It alternately sends ‘x’ parts down each downstream
conveyor.
The application consists of the following discrete I/O:
Example logic requirements:
· If Part Present Sensor is ON, then increment the parts counter
· If the parts-counter preset is reached, reset the counter and alternately set or
reset the Diverter Actuator
Parameter Configuration
The following parameters are configured for this example:
