Hello
Recently i have been given the project of design a runtester equipment.
but they are asking me to go beyond of my actual knowledge
they want to use a sql server to store recipes there and they also want to store the results of each test in that database
So they will use a barcode scanner then by the model number they will pull the recipes information to the plc
then after the plc ends the test it will save the information
i know how to program plcs and hmi's (we will use a micrologix 1200, and i don't know if i should use a panelview plus hmi)
but could someone point to any information i could read about pulling and saving information to databases from a plc? since i never done and i really dont know where to start from...
thank you very much
