I have a new machine arriving in a couple of months where the various machine setup parameters (recipes values) are stored in multiple arrays. My best guess is that there will be about 50 to 60 initial recipes each with about 30 values that need to be entered. At the moment I am having my production people develop a spreadsheet with all these values and once the machine arrives and commissioning is mostly complete, I need to transfer these values into their appropriate array locations.
Assuming that makes sense, I'm looking for a way to intelligently transfer all these parameters without having to rely on human intervention to get them from the spreadsheet to the PLC. Does anyone have a method for this - some kind of import/export thing or maybe a reiterative routine?
My processor is a CompactLogix L43S and I have or can get any software I might need. What I don't have is a viable method (yet).
