Bladder Stopper Signals

Process Modeling
1

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the bladder stopper signals. I want it to open and close at specific times, so I’m sending a SendSignal command (Release Signal command to be more specific) from process routine of the process node right after the stopper, but it’s not working properly. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this? How can I use signals effectively on a bladder stopper?

Thank you

Hello,
if you set the Task property on “Stop Parts Until Release Signal”, it will close automatically each time a product arrives.
If you want to open and close it at specific times, you should set the Task property on “PLC Control”. That way you can choose to close it or not when a part arrives. (In this case, you need to use the StopAction and ReleaseAction signals, instead of ReleaseSignal signal)
