Hello, everyone!
I've recently installed a 1769-L33ER CompactLogix 5370 controller at an old distribution facility we own. We are trying to interface with it to extract scale information for our bills of lading, but I can't get the communication to work.
I'm running RSLinx 2.41, and I was able to download an EDS file and get it to recognize the CompactLogix, but I get an error message when I try to extract data, 'no application responded to the DDE initiate'.
When I right click on the processor in the right hand window in Linx, the option 'data monitor' doesn't appear at all. I tried connecting to a PLC5 at another facility, and I do get the data monitor, and it returns data.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can make this talk to my ERP software?
Thanks
