Hello,
I have a project that i would like to get some guidance on please
i have a Siemens PLC that contains a high speed counter. the counter is counting pulses and outputting a value every 60 sec. the pulses infer the speed of a conveyor
Is there any way that i could send this data to an SQL server database automatically every 60 seconds. I would like the SQL server to store all this data indefinitely for 6months.
I would then like to have an application (possibly created in VB express for example) that would display the current speed of the conveyor in real time from the PLC. Also i would like there to be a trend that the operator could choose between two times and the trend would show a plot of the speed between them two times.
Finally I would like this to be done free if possible. i know i can download SQL server and VB free. I have a PLC already.
Any help would be much appreciated
thanks
