I would like to find a way to set up a camera to monitor a palletizer and automatically record the events leading to a shutdown. There is rarely anyone in the area when cases jam; I would like to find a way to set up a PVR or something to store the last (x) minutes before the jam to help determine what happened. There is a Versa View in the area running RSView32. Has anyone tackled a project like this before? I'm mainly concerned with some advice on how to use the fault signal from the palletizer PLC to trigger the PVR. Is there a vendor specializing in this type of thing? I need to do some preliminary investigation on what's available before management will commit to it and what I've found so far on the net doesn't look applicable. Thx.
