Dear friends
We have a Corrugator machine in our plant which works 24hours a day in 3 shifts. We have recently installed a new SLC 5/03 in machine for automation purpose.
I want to prepare logic that whenever machine stops, the time of stopping and the downtime minutes would be logged into a file. I have worked many times with RS Logix but I did not prepare such logic before by using RS Logix. I thought about that logic which needed many integers as if machine stops say 20 times in one shift; I need 20 integers for saving the down time and many others for saving the time of stoppage.
Please assist me how I can achieve that goal without designing any HMI.
