Hi all,
Well I got handed a project today that has to get done and I have to use a ML1500 LSP, already on hand. I am going to order input modules the first of Feb. I am logging the downtime of 4 production lines, including their rates, down time, and reason for stopping. All inputs that can stop the line (16 per line) are being monitored by input modules. Photoeyes are already being used on the system in place to count product for a water saver system.
I am planning on using a Red Lion G306 for the data logging functionality. The VFD will trigger an input on the PLC when it is running or not and the Red Lion will log the reason for the stop.
This data will be viewed via the built in web server on the Red Lion and e-mailed every morning. I realize that the e-mail will strictly be the CSV file that the G306 produces.
The Question:
When viewing the data on the web server is there a way to embed a graph showing line rate, trending function, with notations of the stop events and what those events were?
The corporate jobs are not that great with the so called "computer stuff". Being able to just send them a bookmark and them visually see what is happened in the last 24 hours would be the easiest way to accomplish my goal.
