Hey smart people
I need to update an old machine. In that machine is an electric motor which is controlled by 2 contactors to spin CW and CCW. The motor pulls up or put it down a metal rail. I need to control that motor with PLC. This is already done but with buttons, and now they want to set the distance.
Exemple: in position 1 need to be in upper position, position 2 is middle, and 3 is down.
I have an analog encoder RM36Cx, here is a picture on output signal.
The motor does 5,5 turns from upper position to bottom position, bbecause of this I have360° encoder
Any idea on how to implement in PLC program? This is first time I doing something like this, so any help is welcome.
Thanks
