Hi,
I programmed a machine that can produce lots of different recipes.
So, we can enter a recipe on the Panel.
But, now they want to be able to enter recipes/products from their lazy seat...
I have some toughts, maybe someone can point a direction:
1. - HMI Panel connected to PLC but also on the network of the company, recipes can be edited on the MMC card ? CSV excell format. Is this possible to load and store and upload csv files over a network ?
2. Installing an ethernetcard on the PLCrack and connecting to an OPC server PC, the cliëntsoftware is excell.
3. Placing an industrial PC instead of a panel, on the PC: WInCC Flexible Runtime and using remote desktop to change parameters in recipes.
4. Installing an EMbedded PLC and running an OPC server on it, cliënts are PC's with Excell.
I do not have experience with this kind of thing, maybe someone can tell his ideas ?
Everything is Siemens
