PC monitor addition to omron PLC.

[skip83]

Our plant manger/my boss wants each line to display the takt time above the line. I am trying to research the cheapest way to do this. Our plant is stuck in the 80's. Our PLCs our omron CH I think with a Omron NS HMI. Just now installing ethernet drops to each PLC and adding ethernet cards. He wants this done as of yesterday. I am looking at some LED message boards that I think will be the easiest. I know I can use a PC monitor some how but I am unsure what is needed. Does anyone have any ideas or info. TIA.

I have used this model:
weintek fhdx 820 manual - Google Search
And it worked well with anything that had Either serial or ethernet based systems, it outputs HDMI so you can use any monitor that is HDMI capable.

I work in a similar environment. Lots of PLCs but no data collection capabilities. We have installed Vorne boards to track production. They are very simple and have a limited number of inputs. That said, they can collect basic data and display it locally. Also, if you can network them you can use their software to do further analysis.

All you need to program one and install. You can watch it remotely too.
