We are setting up a system where we have 3 overhead conveyors and 2 robots with S4C+ Controllers. We have a central PLC which will control & keep track of the conveyor and the products on the conveyor. What we would like to have happen is:
-When a part arrives at a certain spot the conveyor will stop
-A barcode scanner will read a barcode on the part
-The PLC will then tell the robot to run a certain program
-When the robot finished the program it will tell the PLC that it can continue
Is it possible for us to connect our central PLC to the S4C+ Controller and have it communicate like this?
