PLC Programming Method for Continuous Length Measurement Using Incremental Encoders
Length measurement, or distance measurement, is ubiquitous in industrial production. This article presents a programming method for continuous length measurement using the SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-1200 connected to the OMRON E6B2-CWZ5B incremental encoder, based on a practical case. The goal is to achieve cyclic measurement, length counting, and subsequent speed measurement with minimal and straightforward programming. … Read more
