Allen Bradley PLC Programming RSLogix 5000 Factory IO - Reject System Using FIFO FFL / FFU [Part 6]

In the sixth episode of the RSLogix / Studio 5000 PLC Programming using Factory IO, we’re venturing into an advanced PLC Programming topic - FIFO. The goal is to build on the concepts we’ve covered in the previous video (Episode 5) and to create a system that tracks the two sizes of boxes across the conveyor. At the end of the conveyor, our system is capable of sending boxes into one of the two streams - one for the smaller ones and one for the larger boxes.

FIFO programming isn’t trivial. The idea is that we use an FFL instruction to capture the index / ID of an element and an FFU instruction to offload the same index / ID. By implementing this way, we’re able to track the flow of various parts across the production floor.
