Hi Good Day, I need a suggestion, I have an omron encoder, encoder counter meter (K3NC-NB1A) and communication card RS-232C 25pins (K31-FLK1). My question is, what is the best omron software to read and manipulate the data from the encoder (I have CX-one software but I only use CX-programmer). I want to capture the encoder pulse and convert to velocity, acceleration, deceleration and also energy absorbtion. I have to use mathematical formula such as two times differentiation. I also need to show grapf and display final result that is energy absorbtion reading. Or is it much simple if I use VB / labview / java software? Thank you in advance

Micrologix 1400 HSC:0 Looking for a configuration example. Using a gas meter with a contact output representing x pulses per cubic foot of gas. Want to calculate flow rate and totalize.

Dear All, I have a little problem in reading data from Power Meter to Vijeo Citect v6.0 I'm using Schneider PM810MG for Energy reading from Power Meter and for the SCADA I'm using Vijeo Citect v6.0. I can do some simple data reading like current, voltage and the others using variable tags from Vijeo Citect with Data type INT. But i dont know how to read the data for "Real Energy In" since the data range from 0 to 9,999,999,999,999,999. Waiting for all your help soon. Thx. Best Regards, Budiman Chandra

A SCADA framework is a software platform for creating SCADA applications. I recently wrote an article that can help people evaluating SCADA frameworks. It includes a checklist at the end that is also useful. The article is here: A Software Framework for SCADA Applications The article describes capabilities and functionality of an ideal SCADA framework.
