Hello,
Does anyone know how to transfer a production schedule data into an Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC?
We have a machine that slices 40-50” foam blocks horizontally in several 2”, 3” or 4” thicknesses. The operator inputs the required cutting thickness on a Redlion HMI. For example, a 50” block can be cut around 25 times with a set thickness of 2”.
Would it be possible to have this production schedule with the thickness transferred automatically into the PLC without depending on the operator to input the required cut thickness manually.
Basically, I would like to grab this production schedule data that has the thickness and block sizes, and transfer automatically into to the PLC. The production schedule is currently on internal web server and I want to grab it and transfer to the PLC.
Would anyone know if this is possible?
Thank you!
