Videojet printers ans Compact Logix

widelto · Nov 25, 2016

Hi guys:

Has anyone ever tried to get info from inside videojet 2360 printer directly to 1769-L30ER using msg and/or sockets? , Version 27 logix designer.
And if possible can I write data to those printer the same way ?

Regards,

william

You may want to give videojet a call on this. Their tech support is usually top-notch. I'm no longer at a company that uses them, but I know some models do have IO and serial information.

What kind of information are you trying to pull from the printer?

Is this a continuous print process like pipe extrusion?

Hi Sparkie :

Initially I will need two things:
Change Job number and zeroing printing count when new day arrives.

I´ve been using sockets and that´s the way to go, but I do not know port number and if extra characters are needed in order to send data.

It has been many years ago however, I have done this. I had to use their configuration s-ware.......the name escapes me at the moment. If my memory serves me correctly, I had the printers all connected to an E-net switch. Been a very long time though.

Finally I bought and OPC server from Videojet , this server communicates with FTView SE and this way I send and receive data from my printers and my PLCs.
I do not work for that company anymore , I am retired right now.
