Good Afternoon Everyone. I am trying to figure out how to get a noise that sounds like an Alarm to play out of the speakers connected to my computer when one of my buttons goes off.
The reason that I am wanting this is because I work at a rock quarry, and most of the time there is a constant white noise going. When a belt turns off, most of the time nobody can hear it unless they are close to it, and if the operator inside of the control building is getting a cup of water or whatnot, then they will not SEE something going from green (Good) to red (Bad).
I have an Audio Component Selected already, but I just cannot figure out how to get the sound that I have to play.
Thank you for helping!
You will probably have to play with your browser settings to allow autoplay. Autoplay of media is considered an annoyance and browsers don't allow it by default.
I plan on using the Perspective Workstation. I'm not sure how to even get to the point of referencing a noise. Do I need to somehow put it in a certain folder in the server?
Sorry for all the confusion, I am just recently switching from Vision to Perspective and I am struggling a little bit.
You have to provide the sound at a gateway URL, typically using the WebDev module. Or, perhaps, with my Blob Server (free) if you can put the bytes of the sound file into a Blob column of a database.
You cannot have the sound file referenced locally--browser security blocks that sort of thing (because malware would love it).
Give up any habits/techniques that involve local files or local code in the UI.
Also, why? Direct control of machinery should be Vision, IMNSHO.
Thank you very much! I will look into what I should do from here.
We plan on doing more than JUST controlling the plant. and it made more sense to get Perspective since it can do most of the same things for the operator, only difference is that it's browser based.
