Hydraulic Can Crusher Program
I am working on controls for a hydraulic can crusher. Please see attach program. I am trying to write a line for manual operation. The first cycle must be manually indexed and then the machine can be put in auto with a toggle switch. The issue is when I use the extend cylinder output and the retract cylinder output I get errors in the program because the outputs are used twice in the ladder. The project works in the auto mode but I have not loaded the code with the manual line. I could use some help. This manual button will also put everything back to the home position if a safety or estop is pressed.
Use C-bits, like this:
Hi Chefjay,
You will need to only set the output once.
I have combined the same output rungs together.
I hope this helps you out.
Regards,
Garry
