APPLICATION EXAMPLES OF BASIC COMMANDS

When all the PCBs have been pushed onto the conveyor belt, the lifter motor will move down until the
limit switch (LSW) is being activated !hereafter, the whole procedure can only be started by the start

4n this application, the PLC is used to start and stop the motors of a segmented
conveyor belt !his allows only belt sections carrying an obCect (ie mental plate)
to move !he position of a mental plate is detected by a pro)imity switch located
ne)t to each belt segment As long as the plate is within the detecting range of
the switch, the motor will wor1 4f the plate moves beyond the range, a timer is
activated and when this set time has lapsed, the motor of that belt stops
