Hey Steve
Your right of course, but when I first became involved in this project I was not aware of just how critical the line speed was.
I thought because of the low 4to5hz I could handle that easily through the 06 with a fast timer, and that the line speed was only needed for reference, which it is, in a indirect sort of way. But it turns out that the operator monitors and makes incremental changes through the touch screen due to die wear and other things like payoff drag etc.
In the old infamous saying on hindsight, I would have done things differently had I known what I know now. Just goes to show you, you can never know too much about the process you’re trying to control. At any rate I see and encoders run process in the future with VFDs keying on their input, but at least I already have the CTRIO’s.
The thing is I retired 8 years ago but they won’t let me go. But the tech is so much better now and changing so fast it’s hard to keep up. I will probably spend my last days trying to figure out why one damn thing or another won’t work like I want it to.
