PLC Example - Sorting Station (Shift Register)

We will now look at a plc example using a shift register on a sorting station. The sorting station logic will be developed using the five steps. More information can be obtained at our website including all of the links and downloads mentioned in the video. https://accautomation.ca/plc-programming-example-sorting-station-shift-register/ PLC Programming Example - Sorting Station Testing - Video https://youtu.be/W0aibYb3DnE This video will show you the five steps in the development of a sorting station PLC programming example project. We will apply the five steps to PLC program development to a sorting station example. The program will use shift registers to track colored parts down a conveyor and sort depending on color into one of three locations. The example will use a BRX PLC communicating to Factory IO (3D Software Simulator). Developing the PLC program is a process that can be clearly defined. In our series on the five steps to PLC program development, we have done some similar practical examples. 00:00 PLC Example - Sorting Station (Shift Register) 00:35 Define the task: (Step 1 – Sorting Station Shift Register) 02:08 Define the Inputs and Outputs: (Step 2) 03:19 Develop a logical sequence of operation: (Step 3) Develop the PLC program: (Step 4) 08:23 Test the program: (Step 5) Here is a review of the steps: 1. Define the task 2. Define the inputs and outputs 3. Develop a logical sequence of operation 4. Develop the PLC program 5.
