Hello all. Is there a way I can have values at certain intervals stored on the SD card for the MLX1400....maybe triggered alarms also? I have used the SD for loading programs only, so I am not sure if I can selectively save to the card or not. Thank you
 
If you mean a MicroLogix 1400 controller, then what SD card are you referring to? The Micro800 family may support an SD card, but not the MicroLogix.

The MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 controllers support a 1763-MM1 EEPROM module, which is only used for program backup and restore. You cannot access any of this modules memory through the user program.

They also support data logging, but this is stored on dedicated internal memory and not available to be saved to the 1763-MM1, or any other direct external media, that I am aware of?

EDIT: Found these...

You'll probably come back now and tell me it's a Micro800 your actually using!
