Common Uses
Simple automatic loaders: The PLC and configuration of M
functions can be used to drive simple automatic loaders.
If the loader is complex and requires a non linear
sequence with times or counters, then do not rely on
this option. Use a separate PLC and contact the factory
for information on interfacing with the OmniTurn.
Magazine Barfeed: The PLC kit is perfect for interfacing
the OmniTurn to a magazine bar feed. The OmniTurn has
built in a conditional M function that is used for an
end of bar sequence.

The standard kit has
- 8 inputs - 24V DC (supplied by
PLC)
- 6 outputs - configured for 12V DC
for use with the OmniTurn power supply
- 2 solid state outputs
- 4 relay outputs with a common
The kit is configured
with a number of standard M functions for inputs and
outputs. A conditional input M function is also
supplied.
M functions can be configured by the end user.
Documentation is supplied in the manual to assist
customers with this. A total of 10 M functions can be
created and used in all programs on the machines.
