Hello All,
I am fairly new to PLC programming and really only know how to use the basic functions of RSlogix 5000. I have a new project I will be working on where the main goal is to interface a Weigh Scale and Pump using the Compactlogix controller. Connecting the pump to the system should be simple enough but, I am having trouble understanding how to connect our weigh scale to the system. We have the option of reading the Midrics scale using the Analog output card however we also have the option of using a Ethernet TCP/IP output card, which I hear can be more accurate and ultimately better for obtaining readings.
I guess my question is, how would I interface the scale to the CompactLogix controller using Ethernet TCP/IP, and how would I program this in RSlogix 5000?
Any response would help!
