Hello all. Im getting a call every coupla weeks that a mill is just "shutting down." I have Very serious suspicions that a normal stop is being pressed, seeing as though most stops fault the mill etc.etc.
Last night i tried using R.S. Logix Trends to view the pushbuttons
compared to the run bit. Unfortunately it took me most of the night to get it tweaked, and they never shut down again. Now Im at home trying not to think about work, but... Heres some silly questions I`m pondering.
1. I can adjust the refresh rate on the display to up to 50 milliseconds. Is that the refresh rate on just the "display"? or is that the refresh rate on... well... what Im going to be actually monitoring? The reason I ask is the computer started getting really weird at anything under 1 second. I did hook up a laptop as well that was able to monitor at 50 milliseconds so I think Ill work with that.
2. If I Trend the 8 hour shift and then print it out at the end of the shift is it going to give me like 900 pages of trending, or can i just save this to a location on a drive?
This is the only mill that does not have any SERIOUS data logging going on, and Im just trying to work with this (and learn) while I can, so... any comments on R.S.Logix Trends would be appreciated.
Thank You All Very Much! I learn so much on this sight they actually gave ME a Tech Job, ouch!! :}
