Contribution to the factory io project 142 (Industrial advanced Roundabout entry material)

Hello,

Now, once you’ve completed the “Contribution 141” project and it’s working correctly, try this next test: add the three missing parts. You see, I’ll tell you something—you can’t program this type of machine using this kind of programming:

It must be done through programming, not hard-wiring. However, in the hypothetical scenario where you were to implement the rotary table using hard-wired logic—something that would never actually happen because it is impossible, but let’s assume for a moment that you succeeded (and I repeat, you wouldn’t)—you would then have to configure that hard-wired logic to add the three missing parts while maintaining the structure of the original program. That is, the operator needs to be able to modify them via the HMI, but now handling nine parts instead of six. That’s quite a problem, isn’t it? Am I right or not? Well, let me tell you: you cannot expect different results if you always do the same thing.

Here are the adjustments, fully operational. Note that the video shows the changes and adjustments made; if you are interested in pursuing this approach, you will need to implement these changes yourself—though the modification isn’t particularly complex. Let’s take a look:

Regards.

Hello,

We modified the machine to handle four parts simultaneously—provided, of course, that conditions allow for it. In this video, given the rarity of such combinations, we are manually triggering the sequence via the HMI to demonstrate how the machine is supposed to operate in those scenarios. I recorded a continuous 50-minute session for the playlist, and that specific combination occurred three times during that period; I will share the video, including the test clips I managed to salvage. This will be the final video for this project.

Regards.
