Hi all,
I have a customer who wants to use an android app developed using a C++ application generator (Sysdev Kalipso) to extract some data from a Compact Logix 1769-L18ER-BB1B. It will be a very simple setup - the operator will press a button, and this will load one REAL value into a field on the application, which will ultimately get sent to an SQL database with other correlating data. All I have to worry about is how to get the data from the PLC into the app; what happens after that is somebody else's problem.
I don't have any experience with C++ beyond a few weeks of it in high school IT. The guys developing the application will obviously be proficient, but have no experience with PLC's. Ultimately, all they need from me is some information on what sort of C++ code is required to extract the value they want from the tag I specify.
Does anyone have any documentation/example code on extracting a value from a Compact Logix with C++? Or has anyone set anything like this up before, who can give me a starting point?
Thanks!
