Hey guys,
I have a client that has a pump they want to control based on what day of the week it is. As in, on Monday have the pump turn on at a certain hour and minute, and then turn off at a certain hour and minute. Same thing on Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. Problem is, is it possible to determine what day of the week it is? HMI is Wonderware InTouch, PLC is Allen Bradley ControlLogix.
Unfortunately I'm not seeing anything that would indicate what day of the week it is, in either HMI or PLC. It sounds so simple on paper, but I'm seeing a huge amount of work to possibly make this work. Any ideas?
