Sinumeric

[mr_electrician]

Hello guys, thank you to those who dedicate there time to sites like this. My question is: does anyone have experience with the Sinumeric controller? I want to program a batch counter on our WF machine. I would like the operator to be able to inpout a quantity, and when that quantity has been reached, then the machine would stop, giving a message, that would have to be acknowledged. Then the process would start over again. Thanks to those who will take the time to help.

I have two pdf`s.I think you need to read section 11 in the programming fundamentals.If you have a broadband connection and an email address I will send them to you.
BTW,what`s a WF machine?
