It is necessary to have the web moving in order to accurately simulate normalFigure 9: LabVIEW block diagramoperating conditions, so the bottom roller in the system is driven by an AC gear-motor. Thismotor is controlled by switching its power supply with a solid-state relay. While the relay is abinary device that can only be on an on or off state, it is controlled via an analog output signalfrom the PLC. This is because the remote I/O connected to the PLC from the system only has 4analog outputs and no digital ones. Therefore, the Boolean signal from the user control is thecondition for a case
