Hello,

I am working on a project with one sensor and 2 actuators (both set at a certain distance away from sensor, for example Actuator 1 to sensor distance is 300mm and actuator 2 to sensor is 4500mm).

I am unable to track the position of the products which pass from the sensor towards these actuators. I tried using array shift using encoder pulses to shift the array value but due to higher pulses from the encoder, the PLC keeps missing pulses.

I am using a S7-1212 DCDCDC.

Could anyone assist me on this please?
