Turntable Conveyor

In this third tutorial we’ll be creating a simulation of a basic turntable conveyor, which will be controlled using a Function Block Diagram (FBD). After completing this tutorial, you should be able to create your own function block diagrams for controlling machines. Start by downloading the CAD geometry for the model.

Solution

The completed model can be downloaded.

Function Block Diagram

The FBD control logic for the completed turntable conveyor model is explained in the above video and shown below:

To gain a better understanding of the blocks involved and how they work, please see the FBD SoftPLC documentation page.
