First I want to thank everyone who has been helping me over the last couple years. I completed a project that I didn't think was even possible but in the last 2 weeks I have been asked about my project several times and how I did it. So I'd like to share it here in case it can help someone out. I'll give a brief description on what it is... and attach the project.
First off, it's a Production time tracker and "Takt Timer" which basically records production rates.
It has a countdown timer that starts when you press start.
After the countdown timer hits zero, another countdown timer starts that tracks the accumulated time or "overage"
You put in a production rate, say 5 minutes per part and every 5 minutes the "goal" counter will add 1 to the goal count to see where you should be.
There's another counter "actual" that tells you how many you actually completed.
There are 22 toggle buttons, that uses Shift+Ctrl+A and Shift+Ctrl+B and so on that will trigger the toggle switches.
When all 22 toggle switches are activated, the toggle switches reset, a count is added to "actual" and timer restarts.
(You can also press "Enter" to bypass the toggle buttons and add a count and reset timer.
on another tab you'll see that it logs the time for all 22 buttons (stations) so it records station and cycle time
*This system was set up using programmable USB buttons around a production area that were programmed for the Alt+Ctrl+A and so-on commands.
