Speed reduction with beckhoff controller

Sure no problem, what is keeping you from achieving your goal?

Please read the "read first" topic, supply all the necessary information and then ask a specific question or describe your problem. don't make us guess.

So for example in your case is assume you want to pick or place something from or on a moving conveyor. and i also have to assume you want a gripper to synchronize with the belt before picking or placing a object. In case of picking i also have to assume you have some sort of trigger to detect a product and from where your program needs to start to synchronize its TCP speed with that of the conveyor.

Do you see my problem here?

this would need ConveyorTech and resolver wired to RDC....

or you need to get creative

that means knowing system well and being able to exploit certain features for given situation. so... good luck. ConveyorTech is a low cost option and likely it will still give you enough of a chalenge.

Panic's right.

About the only way I can see to even try this without ConveyorTech would be to write a fast SPS loop that monitors the encoder and manipulates $OV_PRO on the fly. But that'll be a pretty crude approximation of what CT does, and probably would only work at low speeds and with a conveyor whose speed is pretty stable.

A far-out option might be to try using the Function Generator (which underpins CT), but that feature is so undocumented that that would be a high-risk approach without bringing in someone who knows all its ins and outs. And there's darn few of those people, even inside KUKA.
