Time Stamping on a Previous Made Part RS View

Coachman said:

Good Morning ,

I am taking measurements of our parts that we are producing and
I am putting the results on Panelview Plus Screens.These results
are from parts that have been made an hour or 2 before. What would
be the best way that I can Time Stamp these results when they were
made? Would it be best if I used RS View Studio or RS Logix 5000?
and Would you have any ideas how I could do this? I created images
of the part,and I am indexing the results of the measurements along the screen from part to part. I would like to do the same with the time stamp also.

Thanks in advance,

I would do the timeastamping in the PLC. The PLC is always online and monitoring the process, whereas, an HMI or SCADA can be offline for updates , Wondoze problems, and during a reboot could miss a timestamp.

If you have V16 of Rslogix5000, use the AOI ( add on instruction ) feature to create your own TIMESTAMP instruction.
