Dear all,

Today I will show you a nice application with the SIG100.

The task is to trigger two barcode scanners. One should be triggered if the bottle is odd and the other should be triggered if the bottle is even, like you can see in the picture.

                       

One solution could be with the SIG100 and the logic functions inside.
Then you need one sensor, for example the WL4 and 3 ports of the SIG100. One Port as input for the sensor and two ports as output to trigger the scanners.

The logic could be look like this with counter for example:
 



As constant values I’ve used this: 

Con 1 = 2 (it is for the modulo operation)
Con 2 = 1 (is for the compare operation for odd bottles)
Con 3 = 0 (is for the compare operation for the even bottles)

That means S2DO1 (Port2 Pin4) is switching if the bottle is odd numbered and S3DO1 (Port3 Pin4) is switching if the bottle is even numbered.
