Excel to PLC
Reverse my process.
Excel, SaveAs .TXT
Rename to .SLC
In notepad, add the Header information, like
"START 1747-L553B % 1747-L553B 5/05 CPU - 64K Mem. OS501 Series C %"
After the header, add one dummy rung:
SOR OTE B3/0 EOR
Then the data table header:
DATA N7:0
Followed by the data from Excel.
Save.
In RSLogix, do a Library Import - rather than having to create a whole project.
It will add the one dummy rung, and overwrite ALL the data table info you have in the file.
Very nice technique.
If you play around with partial saves (where the only the data that is referenced by the rungs being exported get saved), and open the .SLC files in notepad, you'll see how it can be stored in ASCII format.
The neatest thing is, when you do an import, you don't have to actually reference the data in the logic that you import in order to suck in the data. But you DO need to have at least one rung of logic, or the data tables don't get updated.
