I recently had a request that was pretty vague and was wondering if anyone could guide me on some questions I should ask. The request from the customer was "On/Off feed with timestamps". I am assuming they want some kind of data log capability for the discrete outputs they mention. This is a closed system, or was when installed (not on a network) Simply a L36ER processor with point I/O. My initial thought after reading several data log post is to use a Redlion G3 series HMI, simple screen with the DO they want to log and use the data logger on the redlion to capture to a flash card.
I am coming up with few questions for the customer but I assume there are some major ones that need to be addressed that I am unaware of. My only question currently is how long they want to capture data, weeks, months, years. And possibly how they want to view the data.
Anyone here more experienced with data logging and possible customer needs that might be able to suggest some more questions I should ask to make sure I provide them with what they are after?
