Hi everyone,
I am wondering how to communicate to a PLC using VB. I currently have a "Click PLC programming module", that I am communicating to through an RJ12-USB converter. I have a sample VB program that allows me to connect to the device serially, but I am unsure how to go about actually programming code to communicate to the PLC.
I have seen examples that showcase assembly language code to speak to PLCs, but I have no idea where to begin with this particular PLC. How does one figure out the assembly level language code associated with a PLC?
My goal: To read inputs (via pushbutton) into the PLC, and then send an output signal over an ethernet server. I have a background in PLCs, and in VB, but am not sure how to bring both of these systems together.
I thank you all in advance, and appreciate your support.
