Hi all,
This is my first time posting a question here, but I have been browsing the forums for a couple of years now, and there are a lot of smart people here, so I'm sure this will be easy for you guys
Here is my question:
In general, how would you evaluate the time it takes to program a PLC from having the control philosophy in hand (no program) until comissionning is completed?
Notes:
My current project is a 60 line (aprox.) program on a S7/1200 for HVAC-R control purposes.
I am aware that every project is different, and that unexpected problems might pop up and add to the total time. I dont expect an exact figure, just a ballpark one.
I will also have to program an HMI for the same project, could you also ballpark a (separate) programming time for this?
Thanks a lot!
