I'm currently looking into the possibilities for using a PLC as a counter module (production counters) and to afterwards create a .csv/.txt file which has to be send to an FTP server. The file only needs to be uploaded to the FTP server once a day and will only contain very limit amounts of data.
I figured that a PLC could be of interest as the counted values should be shown on a big LCD display. The max. counting frequency would be approx 600pcs/min.
Does anybody have experience with such task and would it be something which is durable in an AB PLC (as this is the preferred brand of the customer) or must I simply go in another direction using other kinds of hardware
Kind regards
