Hi all,
I am using a Compact Logix 1769-L33ER PLC with RS Studio and Factory Talk View software to develop a protection and control system. In addition to monitoring other protection systems, it uses several pieces of programmable Test Equipment (Oscilloscope, DMM, Power Supplies, etc.) that are remote controllable via Ethernet.
Is there any way anyone can think of to use the PLC to send and receive Ethernet SCPI Command language messages? For example send "SET VOLT 5.0 SET CURL 2.5 SET OUTPUT ON" to Ethernet IP address 192.161.1.100. I can't find any Ethernet software library interfaces. Any alternative approach ideas?
Many thanks to all for donating your time and wisdom. Cheers!
Tim
