Hello, Lucifer;

Protool/Pro has integrated DF1 and DH-485 drivers that should allow you to connect directly to the comm ports of Allen-Bradley PLCs, including the Micrologix family, either through a standard RS-232 cable, or a RS-485 network.
Open the Protool help files and search for "Configuration", and look for Allen-Bradley topics. You should have no trouble finding adequate data.
Hope this helps,
