Hi all,
I am using a Compact Logix 1769-L33ER PLC with RS Studio and Factory Talk View software to develop a protection and control system. It uses a high voltage DC Power Supply that needs to have its voltage applied in a slow ramp-up function. This is currently implemented in a separate script file that is executed by the operator on the host PC.
Is there any way anyone can think of to cause the PLC to initiate (spawn) the execution of a separate windows program (or even a DOS batch file)? Any alternative approach ideas?
I've learned a ton from this Forum. Many thanks to all for donating your time and wisdom. Cheers!
Tim
