i have to design a programme to control a conveyor system and sensors
motor 1 of the conveyor system is to be started using a pushbutton start/stop circuit and will then run all the time until stopped
when a product is sensed by sensor 1 this will initiate the starting of the motor 2. the product then transfers to conveyor belt 2
when the product reaches sensor 2 the plc must start motor 3 and then stop motor 2 10 seconds after motor 3 has been started unless another product has been sensed by sensor 1
the product continous on belt 3 until it reaches sensor 3 which indicates t the plc that it has reached this point. the plc must then stop motor 3 after a 5 second delay unless another product has been sensed by sensor 2
also there is to be a hard wired emergency stop
i just want to know how to go about this as i have never used this software before
