Sensor simulation is now available from MachineLogicOur goal is to make it easier for our users to simulate and to de-risk their automated equipment before the deployment stage. We're aiming to make our simulation representative of the program in real life. Therefore, we have just released the ability to simulate with input sensors! Example of how i…Announcement Vivian Cheung 21 views 0 comments 0 points Started by Vivian Cheung Product Announcements

How to use conditions in MachineLogicWhat are conditions used for in MachineLogic? Execute different sequences depending on the validated condition In this discussion, we will see how we can: Create a condition Use a sensor input as a condition The example will be based on a pick and place application in MachineLogic. First, we will… -
How to use loops in MachineLogicWhat are loops used for in MachineLogic? Run a child sequence repeatably Run the sequence a set number of times, infinitely or based on condition In this discussion, we will see how we can: Create a loop Use the while condition based on a sensor input The example will be based on a pick and place …
