I'm very new to PLCs and therefore, OPC. I have a MicroLogix 1000 (Allen Bradley) PLC, which I'd like to connect to an OPC server (KepserverEX) running on my computer.
To connect to the PLC, it obviously needs an IP address assigned, and I need to know what this IP address is.
Do I need to run a DHCP/BOOTP sofware on my PC? Do I need an Ethernet switch in between the PLC and the PC, or an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the PLC to the computer?
