My boss wants to display on a 'secret' screen, how many times a machine has been stopped and the actual time it was stopped and restarted.
Not only that, he wants a daily effiency report on this screen ie Monday: Run 83% stopped 17%
He says he can not determine which shift is being truthful about how long the machine has run. So he needs times and days of stoppages.
We have a FX2n 128MR plc and a Beijer E100
I am OK with getting a 'secret' screen by using a password to log on
I have struggled with getting an accurate percentage read-out. I am using a M bit, on for run time, off for stop time and then incrementing timers.
Something like; 6H 31M run / 1H 29M stopped but I have juggled and messed to try get the accurate percentage but always get weird incorrect percentages.
Also, and the hardest part, I can't think of a way to display the actual time it was stopped and when it was restarted
I know I can use the date and time registers for the display but -
I don't know how many times they might stop/start per day, so I don't know how to lay it out on the screen.
The screen is only 2 lines and the boss will have to scroll down but has anyone any suggestions how I would for instance display 6 stoppages on day 1 then 3 on day 2
with the actual times that these happened
