My project: utilizing AB PLC's (Micrologix 1200?)- I need to log data from a modbus port, capturing about 8 different variables, every 5 minutes (or so,) for up to 2 hours (more is always better though!)
Im trying to determine a number of different things.
1. Can I get away with our standard Micrologix 1200, and some sort of third party device for logging?
2. Will the Micrologix 1500 with "data logging" capabilities work?
3. What kind of memory size am I looking at for 8 variables, captured approximately every 5 minutes for 2 hours. Or every 2 minutes for 2 hours?
Any help will be appreciated. Im new to all of this, and glady taking any advice I can!
Thanks
