Have a question i hope someone on here could possibly assist with. I have spoke to Red Lion and they tell me you can assess the G308 using the web server. I am looking at possibly using a Red Lion to control some equipment and create a recipe.
The hmi would have a selector that would be for example labeled "Style".
When the operator pushes it they can then scroll through the recipe names such as style 1, style 2, etc. and select the style number by name.
If operator selected for example style 2, there would be 6 timer values associated to that style that are used in the control of the machine if that style is selected. if i understand it correctly you would just create a tag in the hmi for the 6 different timer values and associate them to a N register in the plc. If the operator selected Style 1 then the N registers that contain the timer values would be put in the timers as the new setpoint value.
What i cam confused about is if for some reason the value that is in the N registers have to be changed due to possibly the way the machine needs to function for that style then is it possible to use the web server and push the new values for the N registers that are linked to the tags in the Red Lion HMI unit and if so if anyone has ever attempted something like this and could share some info would be great. To be honest, i am totally confused and drawn a brain dead on it.
thanks
