hello all...

recently management level inculd my manager had ask me to do a task .
where by currently we have small mixing plant (feedmill) where by using panel mode mean no computer but using man power to handle ..
and now they wanna connect a scada to current plc.so that can be control using computer and recording.
current PLC was using mitshubshi Q series to run mixing .

1) can i use seimens wincc flexiable for recepi and control Q series PLC so that mixing can be done via computer
2) is there any sample of recepi using Wincc felxiable

What is the model number of the Mitsubishi Q Series do you have?
How do you want to communicate to the PLC? (Modbus TCP / Ethernet)

I have not used it but there is a Wincc Modbus TCP driver.
You could also use a software package like AdvancedHMI.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/advancedhmi/

Hope this helps you out.

You could use GTsoft by Mitsubishi to give a computer all the functions of an HMI

Also you could Use MXsheet software to add all the functionality of Microsoft Exel to the PLC memory.

The recipe stuff could also be done on the PLC then use the above mentioned HMI software to call it from a computer.

THE cpu USING MODEL ARE AS BELOW

QOOCPU.it using direct com rs232.

please advise if i can use wincc flexiable to read all data and send recepi to PLc .currently it using manual method now they wanna go control VIa computer
