Hi,
We've a project that require use to implement a data logging & reporting (hard copy print out). The controlling part is running for quite some time already. Customer is SLC 5/04. The newly add in data logging & reporting is actually TWO values from a weight scaller. This weight scaller has 4-20mA input sending to the PLC (1746-NI4). The data logging & reporting will be done by a PC connecting to the SLC 5/04 using DH+ network (1784-PKTX). The weight of the object that pass thru the weight scaller will be logged. Averagely it takes 2 second for each object to pass thru the weight scaller.
The factory is running 3 shift (8 hrs/shift). At the end of the shift, a report will be printed. At the end of the day, the sum weight of the 3 shift will be printed also. All the logged data will be saved as Excel file as backup. So, 1 day will have 3 shift log files & 1 total weight file to be backup daily.
The report format as below:
Time | Weight Scaller 1 | Weight Scaller 2 | % Difference |
1) Is there any data logging & reporting software in the market suitable for this application?
2) The cust does not require a fancy GUI (like SCADA), just a plain format to be displayed at the logging PC will do.
Hope to hear from you guys Thanks.
