Hi Everyone,
I tried to do some searching and was unable to find what I'm looking for. sorry if this is not the appropriate place to post.
I have a A-B ML 1100 PLC that I hope is logging data that I need to extract.
I've never worked with a PLC prior to this encounter. I've inherated a piece of equipment that has a sensor I am required to monitor and record every 10mins. My hopes are that my PLC is currently set up to monitor and log this sensor data and that I can some how extract the data into excel. I do not need to read the data live but at least extract the last 30 days of values.
below is a summary of what I've done thus far and the issues I'm having.
I downloaded RSLinx Classix Lite and RSLogix Micro Lite and established communication with my PLC (A-B ML 1100). The ladder logic has one tag that I believe is my sensor. I'm not sure if the ladder logic is set up with data logging on this particular tag...It should be since this is the only reason the PLC was originally installed but I don't now for sure.
Is there any way to extract the data with free software or some other means?
Apologies if this does not make sense, I've learned everything I know in the last 24hrs.
If there are other threads that address this issue please provide link or thread titles if possible..
Thank you in advance.
