Cheap HMI with Registry

[raguilas]

Hi

I Hope someone can help me with this, please

I want to automate a weigh bin filler(for fruit) but I 'd like to store in the HMI the total quantity of fruit weight/boxes by day; I want to use a cheap HMI, I don't know if this is posible with the most basic panels availables on the market let's say siemens or allen bradley or any other cheaper brand, for an allen bradley HMI would it be neccesary to buy a "library file" license to do this?


thanks in advance

You can do it with a Weintek. Any model. Store to HMI memory or removable USB.
I think you could do this with most brands. Don't know about Allen Bradley.

It depends what your price range of "cheap" is. A PC based HMI can give you the capabilities to do pretty much anything you want at a just about any price range you want depending on how industrialized you want the hardware. For example:

Or if you wanted to go really low cost and not care about "industrialized", you can find a used PC or laptop to run the HMI software which can get you below $100USD.
