Some of you are over my head with this programming. I vote for the Stage, then ladder. One because I cut my teeth on the AB SLC100, did some real elimentry ladders and rewrites from some older TI units when they would crap out( years ago) .
I recently learned how to do the stage, I like it, I don't mind learning anything new.This function box, block, is that what is used for robotics or is it the flow charts? Either way I wouldn't mind learning it.
I would like to learn what is used for CNC machines, lates, mills, ect. I plan to build a table top CNC machine for myself, been researching steppers, servos, and how to control them with the printer port from my PC.
I would like to see ADC to come up with a DRUM that you can change timer values on the fly via HMI, that would useful to me, I could use that today at work on about 25 machines.....
