Hello,
I am using a Allen Bradley SLC505 with ethernet connection. My customer wants to get only three values from the plc and datalog them in the pc through the ethernet connection. I have not done this and have never used ethernet so now is the time to learn. In the past, I used DDE server to capture plc data into an excel spreadsheet and then made averages, max,min, etc. I want to find the cheapest solution to do this with the customer in order not to buy any expensive datalogging software. What will I need to get the data from the plc to the pc's excel program or what is the cheapest and easiest solution? I have Rslinx but we use the lite version although I do see an ethernet driver there.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Paul Kemp
