Hello.
I am bidding on controls for a hydraulic press. I will use a AB ML 1500 or SLC 500 with ethernet comm.
Problem is specification calls for PC interface. I have yet to be involved on the PC side.
System would have PC and keyboard from which operator would insert predefined parameters (mostly timer values). They would need to be able to save each set up for future use. It also has to be able to pull up ladder logic from PLC to troubleshoot.
I am hoping that there is some windows based (non-program language) software that I could work my way through this with. Maybe like panelbuilder for HMI.
Any ideas or budgets for this type of interface would be greatly appreciated. Bottom line I have to bid now and figure out how to do it while doing it.
