Limit on numer of virtual signals?

westman

Hi,

I'm currently implementing a supervisor to guarantee robots and side equipment never enter a zone at the same time.

To represent if the zones are booked or free, we first thought of using booleans, however, trigger instructions seems to only be able to change signals. Thus, our next option is virtual signals.

Now I need to know how many virtual signals you can have in a project?

Also, is there a way of generating signals from outside of RS, using c# programming and a plug-in(which we use for making the zones)?

Hello,

There is no limitation on the number of virtual signals. You can add them programatically through the Station.VirtualSignals.AddDigital() API.
