I need to program an Allen Bradley SLC5/05 processor to read and write data to/from an ABB (Alfa Laval) PLC.
Do I use the MSG (message) block or the EEM block in the SLC5/05?
Unfortunately at this time I do not know anything about the ABB PLC I have to communicate with, including model#. But hopefully there is a standard way to do this, as I cannot get that information for a few days.
I have tried the MSG block using mostly default settings but get no response from the ABB PLC. IF this is the correct block to use, how should it be set up?
If the EEM block is the way to go, how do I find out how to set it up?
I am trying to get this done by 2/11/08 to avoid a major travel expense. Please help.
