Sequencer Mode - Cut to Length Example
In this example, flat steel is fed into a cutter. Using the Sequencer
Mode, it is cut to a specific length. The application consists of a motor,
motor interface, encoder, clutch/brake, and cutter.
A quadrature encoder is connected directly to the motor shaft. It sends
pulses to the module. The module controls the motor interface.
The motor interface controls the motor speed, the user program
enables the motor. When O:1/0 is energized, the motor is enabled.
The motor operates in two speeds, low and high. When the output
(O:1/1) is energized, the motor is running in high-speed mode.
The clutch/brake has two states. The clutch is engaged when O:1/2 is
energized. Engaging the clutch feeds the steel into the cutter. The
brake is engaged when O:1/2 is de-energized.
The cutter is controlled by the module and is self retracting when the
power is off. It also has its own end of travel mechanism.
