I want to monitor if our maintenance personal changes positions without documenting it. 99% our important positions are stored in PRs.
Some of the robots have the "Ethernet package" (I do not know the right terminology, I am self taught and do not setup from scratch) so that I can read register values with the PLC, save them periodically in a PanelView in csv form and I am set.
What I am struggling with are the older robots which are just hardwired. I figure I can store the posreg.va, open a 'master' and a new file in Excel, save file in excel format and use the spreadsheet comparer and check for changes that way, but that is by far to time consuming. Is there a better way?
