Greetings. I'm a total PLC neophyte so please bear with me. I'm still managing to wrap my head around concepts and the lingo.
I've got a Horner Xl4 up and running and monitoring 6 4-20 ma devices. The data is being logged to an SD card but I really want is access to this data on our LAN so that I can inject it into a SQL database.
What is the easiest method to access these data points over TCP/IP? ModbusTCP? I'm proficient in numerous high level languages so once I am able to get realtime access to the data my job will be much easier.
I'm sure this is a common requirement but after a few days of searching the answer has yet to be reveled to me.
Any pointers or examples would be much appreciated.
