I have a robot cell controlled via PLC. I want to use an output from the PLC, based on whatever part number the cell is processing, to open a specific PowerPoint and display it on a nearby monitor.
Currently, an operator selects a part number on a PanelView which calls the corresponding robot program. Then, separately, they must open the PowerPoint of the visual standards (quality checks the operator must do for each finished part) for that part on a PC, send it to a ViewSonic, then have the ViewSonic display the PowerPoint on a TV.
The display and the robot program are two completely separate processes.
It there a way to automate this? Basically, when the cell is processing part 1234, then the visual standard for part 1234 should be displayed on a nearby TV.
