Hi all,
This company has a monorail conveyor running thru their plant. Powder coat factory.
Recently installed was a ML1100, PF525 and a Red Lion G304K200. This is just to run the VFD and a few handshakes with other equipment. The control is in the engineer’s office, and they basically set the speed with ramp buttons on the little HMI. Easy. I did have punch in the number, but he thought that was too small.
Well, one of our electricians said we can easily put this on all your computers to set speed and display actual. They want it on at least 3 computers, and it would have to go over their internal WiFi
.
What our electrician meant by his statement was that this would just pop up on your screen without having a clue, and the current hardware.
I did consider a Graphite G07 and use the web server, but not sure if too many devices on it all the time would cause a traffic jam on the network, or with flaky browsers. They do work nice, but I’ve had issues in the past.
Any thoughts?
