Hi,
Have been trying to create some logic for controlling a conveyor-model with help of LabVIEW and 3 myDAQ's, instead of the usual PLC-setup.
We haven't come further than a few functions, then everything became sluggish.
The model consists of two soleniods pushing out plastic-rings, two conveyor-belts and some other sorting mechanisms.
When the plastic-ring passes X1 (see program below) solenoid Y1 should push out momentarily, but in our program it will be hitting in 1/3 attempts. The other 2/3 attemps comes with a delay of a second or two.
All in all, it seems that the combination of LabVIEW and more than one myDAQ is way to unstable and slow for replacing a PLC.
(Has been testing on two different Intel I5-computers, and all atempts are ideling CPU-load).
The program beneath contains a couple of subVI's for minimizing the space of easy logic, but we have tried to direct connect the inputs to the outputs, while the result remain the same.

Clik here to view.
