I have a possible project that I'm trying to land, and to keep the thing affordable to this particular customer, I'm checking out the C-More HMIs for the first time (vs. Red Lion). I've down-loaded the Demo software and I'm poking around the menus to see what is in there. There is one critical display that I need, but do not see a way to create.
Here is the complete function:
-4-20 mA signal coming into a Click PLC
-Serial Connection from the Click to the C-More 8" HMI (to save the Ethernet for other use)
-A discrete tag created to toggle on when the analog signal reaches a threshold value.
-A visual timer that counts up when the tag is on, and another timer that counts up when when the tag is off.
-The timers automatically reset to zero at the beginning of each shift.
-The timers stop timing at the end of the shift.
I see clocks in the HMI, but no "timers". Does anyone see a way to accomplish a visual "stopwatch" function like this?
