Hey all, we are trying to find a simple cheap display that would display errors for our machine run by an SLC 500 PLC.
We have on HMI on one side of the machine (Proface screen) connected through serial (RS-232) but we have our PLC connected through an Ethernet network and have available outputs if necessary.
The screen we'd like does not have to be interactive or touch or anything, just simply display when everything is running well and then change automatically to display an error. There are already physical buttons to start and clear errors from that side.
Any help on a cheap solution for something like this would be appreciated. We do have a license for Factory Talk Studio if needed.
