Hi all, Trying to figure out if there's any way to run a motor, either a stepper or servo, a given distance with classic ladder _without_ having a XYZ configuration. I have a a sequence of things that will happen in a row in a machine running today, it's all mechanical and relay/timer driven, all these parts are getting old and expensive so I want to rip it all out and control the thing with a PC instead. In this machine there are a bunch of motors that are moving objects and they are controlled by switches (run motor A until switch #10 triggers). I want to replace these with and a few hydraulic pieces with new motors and they are running x mm and then back. Actually, it doesn't matter if the motor's are configured in a XYZABC config as long as I can run them from the CL. Maybe it's the best way to go because I can get zeroing automatically during startup?
Can this be done? Ultimate would be to run the machine with a new GUI on top of the ladder logic, controlling the ladder timers with a Glade panel. First thing first though...
