Hello, I need to generate production reports once a day in pdf format. I red other topic related to this question that suggests to trigger a screenshot of a screen to use it as a report. How can I do it with a macro using a PLC Control Object? Should I draw the screen similar to the report I need to generate? Can you explain the solution in more detail?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @diegomb20 ,
Thank you for contributing to our forum.
It is not possible to create a PDF within EasyBuilder Pro. We recommend using a Screen Hardcopy through a function key or combo button. This will generate a JPG image of the screen and place it within USB1 or USB2.
If you are using an Event Log or Data Sampling object, the Backup object will be helpful as you can output those values as CSV or SQLite DB files. Below is a video showing how to set up a Backup object to save historical data.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
