Hello , I need to solve microwin shift register to use in a conveyor , to detect the missing upper biscuit of the sandwitch . the sensor installed at biscuit upper magzine and the clock pulse is generate by the conveyor teeth of each sandwich.

Please and thank you in advance

Hello,

first of all Im a self learner,

Im confused with microwin/s7 200 shift register programing.

my intention is

1. define a variable V0

2.shift left V0 if input bit I0.0 

3.set Q0.0 according to V0.8 high or low

please help to understand.

 Hi.

I think I understand what the source of your problem is. Please review the program attached with this post. (Please do not mind the custom colouring of the program.)

There are a few brands of PLC which I can think of that you may be thinking of, while doing this program. Those behave like 16-bit processors.. Siemens PLCs behave like 8-bit processors.

In Siemens CPUs: WORD sized variables are constructed from x2 BYTES and each BYTE has 8 bits. The numbering of the BYTES in the WORD is left to right, while bits are numbered right to left. (very confusing.. I know.)

Therefore VW0 is built up by VB0 (left, most significant byte) and VB1 (right, least significant byte). In turn VB1 has bits V1.0 (right, least significant bit) to V1.7.

If you can wrap your head around this all, then you will do just fine. Please know that the HELP in Microwin is of the best constructed help files I have ever seen for PLC software - please have a look at it again with the new knowledge.

Helpful?

The solution will depend on the specifics of your use case.

The maximum solution would be to save the position⁽¹⁾ of the product in a list when a reject is detected. The process is called FIFO (first in first out) and the instruction group has a description of handle tables.

The manual you should get is:


The chapter you should look for is:

The encoder position is tracked by the HSC. Look for the chapter named "High-Speed Counter Instructions"

--

Footnote (1) :: Detail on possible method to trigger a far placed reject

The encoder tracks the movement of the conveyor. The counter (HSC) linked to the encoder  gives an absolute position. When a reject is identified: (a) Capture the current position of the HSC. (b) Add the travel distance from product position to the reject. (c) Store the number in a table.

The oldest value in the table needs to be monitored. The reject is triggered if the HSC reaches that number.
