A.1.1 Example of "Positioning with target sensor"
The example shows a typical application for positioning objects on a conveyor.
A part is transported on the conveyor and positioned at an explicit end position.
The delivery range is variable, so that the current position of the part is not definite
at the start.
To help approach the target position with sufficient accuracy, a target sensor is
installed 500 mm away from the end position. The digital input of the target sensor
signal is located on the drive. At the time of detection, the current position value of
the conveyor is set to 500 mm. The integrated technology of the Technology CPU
ensures, that the position of the part is saved via the measuring sensor input
virtually without any delay. The current position is thus precisely defined, and
positioning can be completed with a high degree of accuracy.
