hi all,
i have 16 lines here and almost all are identical.
each has a steel seam belt to transport product on.
each belt stretches and must be shortened every 2 or 3 days by cutting the seam and 30 ft off the belt.
i was given a task to track the belt seam and i have it working. when the line stops, the tracking system pauses.
now they want me to incorporate a count down timer into the wonderware 7 hmi to help eliminate the operators reading a chart (which is fairly accurate) until you take into consideration any belt stoppages.
i searched the site but was unsble to find what i need.
the plc is a plc 5/40 or bigger.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance,
james
