We would like to be able to gather machine motion into UniVerse. TTL data from a sensor could go to a serial or USB port on a PC indicating when a die tool is up or down. Thus, we would be able to capture press activity, logging data.
There are a few books on www.amazon.com on how to write a VB/serial/USB application. This data could be sent to a SQL database to talk with UniVerse. There must be a better/cheaper/faster/more_direct way. Perhaps something with Java or a PLC thing. We are using Dynamic Connect. One of those "stamp" controllers to ethernet or wireless would be ideal. Suggestions would be appreciated.
