Hi All,
Our company is quoting on a project where the customer has asked us to provide extensive documentation. He is determined to having it done a certain way. The PLC documentation is about the same as the other projects that we have done. The customer is not familiar with Wonderware Intouch. He has asked us to supply a hard copy of each display with annotations (callouts with lines and arrows) that point out and describe each animation link (Type of link, Tagname and Access/Item name).
No one here as ever done anything like this before. So far all we can come up with is to capture a bit map of the display, paste it into a Word document and add Callouts from the Drawing tool Bar. The boxes are only large enough to put a number in. We are then going to put a numbered list below the bit map image with the animation link information. We estimate that it will take longer to document the display then it takes to build it. I looked at trying to use the Print function from Window Maker and sending it to a file. It has not graphic of the display, just text.
It has a lot of information there but it isn’t organized were I can use it. And it has a bunch of funny characters in it.
Has anyone done this before?
If so, how do you go about it?
Is there a faster way than the one we have come up with?
Are there any utilities to help us?
Is there something in Intouch that can do this?
Thanks in advance.
