The biggest time and productivity killer for me during projects are :
Right now I'll just discuss number 2. Example : In the HMI>Recipe Manager Page, I created a dropbox list to select a recipe. On the same page I have a list of 10 different memory tags as my user-defined parameters. Once the save button is pressed, I wrote a script in the Archestra graphic to move all that data to the PLCs "Recipe_1" tags.
I spend a lot of unnecessary time second guessing if I'm doing it the best way possible or trying to decide if I should a dozen similar scripts in the PLC or HMI?
- Being OCD with the architecture and tagname structure
- Deciding where to house alot of my structure text code
- GRAPHICS!!
