denise01 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Posted June 16, 2012 Hello, I have just completed a programme on CXP using a CJ1M displaying various counts that are displayed on an overhead Monitor. The data is displayed using Supervisor ie Text and Counters Display. Is there a cheaper way to transfer the Data and Text from CXP as Supervisor Run Time is expensive and a NS Screen is too small for my companys purpose. Regards Peter Quote
Geir Posted June 16, 2012 Report Posted June 16, 2012 Perhaps use an OPC server and design your own screen layout using VB or similar? Quote
denise01 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks for the advice. Do you know if OPC can be used on more than one computer or does it have a run liicsence the same as Supervisor. I only really have to display three text boxes and a three Counters on the Monitor.

Geir Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 I have just recently got the CX-server lite for our school, so I'm not an expert on OPC. CX-server lite is a one computer only license, and it don't seem to support web applications. It can, however, communicate with approx 50 PLCs, and if your screens are not too far apart, I suppose you can run 3 monitors on one PC. Quote
denise01 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Posted June 21, 2012 Okay Thanks, Is it fairly easy to design the screen that I will need ie 3 text boxes and 3 Counter displays. Regards Peter Quote
