Testimonial: Print PDF file from PLC with DataSuite
The company MSB GmbH & Co. KG approached us with a problem. Labels are to be printed with a machine control system. A specific paper tray is to be used for printing, the print data is available as PDF files.
From an idea to a component of the DataSuite
Fortunately, Mr Plaßmann asked us for advice first. Our DataSuite software has had a print function for some time. This means that Excel files or individual spreadsheets could be printed out without any problems. However, he would like to print a PDF file. Until now, this was not part of the software. No problem for us: we have expanded our software entirely according to the customer’s wishes.
Alternatively, Mr Plaßmann could have had customised software developed. This would have been considerably more expensive and would have taken several weeks, if not months.
"It was the right solution for us at the right time." (translated)
Mr Plaßmann from MSB GmbH & Co KG
Planning and implementation
It was easy for our team to develop this new function and implement the requirements, including tests, in a short space of time, enabling Mr Plaßmann to complete his project successfully and on time.
The function is now included in DataSuite from version 3.4.4. and is accessible to every user.
With just a few clicks, you can now print CSV, XLSX and PDF files from the machine control system and save yourself a few manual steps.
"We are all delighted with the software and the simple, easy-to-adjust parameterisations as well as the integrated interfaces, including to the PLC. It was the right solution for us at the right time." (translated)
Mr Plaßmann from MSB GmbH & Co KG

You know our DataSuite software and therefore know that it is very versatile and offers many functions. In conversations with customers, I notice again and again that particularly exciting features are often not known. I have therefore compiled some interesting little-known features in this newsletter.

wouldn’t it be nice if you could provide data of machines and plants easily and quickly as web pages? Maybe even with a diagram and your logo? We have built exactly this function and many more into our [MB] DataSuite. Forget the S7 web server and use the fast and easy alternative in the form of our software.
