have been looking at different PLC's for a application that i am working on. witch is a cnc
retrofit i notices that some companies are using PLC equipment and a cad/can software package
that runs the servo controllers & the PLC runs the spindle, valves, pumps, ect, ect.
i was wondering if anybody out there knows of a software program that would run this type of deal
(the idea i need) you would write the plc program to 1 start the hydraulic system start coolant
and so on after the basic machine functions are running then i could enter the X.Y.Z. coordinance
for the AXIS that run the servo motors. i would need the PLC program setup so it can be password
protected so it can,t be mistakenly edited and the all the user would need to enter the
coordinance for the AXIS. when the start button is pushed the PLC ladder program would scan and
start what was needed till it got to the coordinance for the AXIS then the servos would cut there
path that is programmed when the cut is finished it would alarm the operator that the process was
finished.
i am trying to explain what i need as best as i can if anybody can help please contact me at
[email protected] or point me in the right direction. thank you for your time. Robert.
