  • System and method for device sequencing using discrete PLC control
    Patent number: 6897675
    Abstract: A system and apparatus for discrete PLC control using word sequences in a data table for controlling a device on an assembly line. The data table contains sequencing information which defines, for each station on the line, a series of operations with corresponding setup and operation parameters. By placing the sequencing information in a data table, programming or changing the series of operations for a PLC is made much more simple and efficient.
