I have a SLC 5/05 that is talking to FactoryTalk ME. I am making large blocks of plastic. After the block of plastic is cast, I want to capture process data such as temperature, time, date, mold size, operator, and batch ticket number. I want to store this in an Excel spreadsheet. The customer has committed to having a PC just run this spreadsheet and nothing else.
I looked at the Data Logging function of FactoryTalk and it doesn't look like it will do what I want. I also don't see how I can ever get back to the data. Can anyone suggest other ways of doing this? I would hate to have to purchase a copy of RSLinx Classic just to do this. I don't think the lite version will support dde.
Thanks for you help
