Post your progress reports for Week #9 here.

3/21/2019
We rewired the warehouse storage to establish the relation between PLC, Robot, and HMI.
We improved the Flowchart of the project.
We submitted an order for some materials to use for the translation table. We discussed about the use of some limit switchs and materials for the move of the robot.

At this point all the motors are wired along with the limit switches on the back of the warehouse shelf. We revised the translation table to make less wobbly. We also added the piece of wood to the translation table to house the proximity sensors for the robot.

This week we did a lot of adjustment we went over the plc's we planned on focusing on wiring the motors and the combinations of sensors to the plc's discussed on programing the robot EXCITING!!

Tuesday: 3/26/19: Today we wired up one side of the motor and rewired all of our relays because we were using a lot of extra wires we didn't need.

Thursday: 3/28/19: Today we finished wiring up the motor, and started to program the robot to do the tasks we need it to do.

We completed the relay concept to get our translation table to move in one direction and the other direction by means of relays switching the polarity.
There was a lot of discussion and adjustment to our project everyone was hands on getting the wiring more complete. We got a piece of wood for the proximity sensor for our robot positions.

Tuesday- we wired part of the motor and rewired all of the relays.


Thursday- we finish wired the motor and cleaning up because there was some wires we didn’t need . Also started to program the robot
