I would like to network 40 to 50 PLC's for some basic data collection. Once a shift I want to log things like production totals, rejects, machine downtime, runtime, ect, put it into excell, archive it daily so I could generate weekly or monthly reports.
I have been researching options on the Internet but I have no experience in this area. Is there a fairly simple basic way to do this? Any information, advice, guidenece, links, recommended reading would be greatly appreciated.
