Hi,
I am trying to collect information from a PLC for a college project. This Omron PLC is connected to 6 stations on an assembly line. I am trying to collect information like times for when the pallet enters station A and exits station A and so on.
I have currently identified the addresses needed for each station. For example when using time chart monitoring on the sysWin software I can see when address 001.00 goes high when enters station A and goes low when exits station A.
How would I go about timing this interval when the pallet is in the station automatically? Would it be possible to program in a timer into the ladder logic which could send the output time into a text file maybe?
All help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Kevin
