Once the sheets reaches position B, the conveyor stops and the paint is activated, turns on and stays on for ten seconds. So to program that we are going to use an XIC instruction for sensor B and then have the paint as an output. And to have the conveyor stops at position B, remember that was achieved in the previous run where the XIO instruction is used for sensor B. So once the sheets reaches position B, sensor B is activated and then XIO instructions turns to one and as a result the conveyor stops. The paint is applied for ten seconds, so we need to add a timer, timer on delay, to keep track of the time and if we select the time of base zero point one then the preset value is 100. And in order to keep the paint on we are going to use a hold n or a sealant instruction to keep the paint on during that time. So this is how the program looks like so far.
