I have a request from a customer to coordinate the process steps (assembly process) with the operator electronic work instruction display. This company does not have any MES or other work instruction display system. Therefore, I am wanting to know if there is a reasonable method to use a PLC output bit (or message) to open a file on a PC (such as a word or power point). Possibly even to advance the power point slide when triggered by the PLC. My feeling is that this not a robust PLC function, but I am researching the potential just in case. Any thoughts you have are appreciated.
