I inherited a system using an ML1200 connected to a PV+ 600 through RS-232 DF1 cable. The operators have been complaining non-stop about how slow the screen loads are on this beast(up to 15sec). The scan times don't seem unreasonable(35-50 X 100usec), but the program uses no indexing and looks ugly. I don't have the project file for the PV+, but when I decompiled the .mer I was astouded by how many screens(130) and macros(70) where used. I'm just getting my feet wet in the PLC world, but it seems crazy to have 20 copies of the same screen for entering data? I can't post the program public, but would anyone be willing to get me some ideas?
Yes, I did do a search, but I couldn't find any train wrecks like mine.
