Hi guys,
I am trying to create a mimic panel so that we can see what is going on with the plc and the process. At present the plc controls 15 solenoid valves, there are also pressure switches and temperature probes that feed signals back to the plc.
I was hopeing that with care it could be possible to tap into these lines and create the mimic panel. I want to be able to put lamps on a panel that looks like the mechanical drawings so we can follow the sequence of events.
I then want to create another panel that can be placed in a production hall so the opperators can see where in the process it is and if there is a problem then we could see where the problem ended.
so for each valve that opens I want a light to come on and when it has closed again stay on until then next light (valve) opens.
I am a novice at all this and I'm not sure if the plc can handle it. the master plc is a FXon-40ER and the slave is a FXon-40MR.
Can anyone suggest how I would go about this, or give me some guidance please.
Thanks
Cindy
