1. Can this work?

2. Can someone point me in the right direction?

1, yes, I'm sure it can be done.

2, You'll need to add another "numeric entry " button to the c-more to enter the offset value. Perhaps an "add offset " and "subtract offset " discrete buttons as well.

In PLC add a rung;

if (positive differential contact) "add offset " button push is on, LDD "cut length " memory location, ADDD "offset value " memory location, OUTD "cut length " memory location.

This will add the offset value to the "cut length memory location. Make another rung like it to SUBD to decrease the cut length.

This is a down and dirty method, but hopefully will get you started.

Hello,

Working on a program for a height cutter and trying to make things easier for operator.

Currently a cut height is entered ie. 28.500 " and a part is cut. It is then measured ie. 28.433 and the operator does the math and hopefully adds .067 " to original cut height (28.500 + .067 = 28.567) and enters the new value.

I want to allow them to enter the cut height, run a test part and measure, then enter the new measured height. Let the plc do all the math for them. I need to do this out to 3 decimal places.

1. Can this work?

2. Can someone point me in the right direction?

system is a DL450 plc. In the program it appears it's using the "print " command to send a value to the parker servo drive that runs the actuator.

HMI is a Cmore.

Thanks for any help or info.
