I am setting up a Red Lion Productivity Station to log and display some data from a PLC-5/60 over Rs 232 / AB DF-1 and need some help configuring it.
I have the DF-1 driver created for the RS 232 comms port and it has the option of SLC /PLC 5 / Mircologix so I chose PLC 5.
When I select create data tags it has check boxes for Data file and offset and symbol and Description field 1-5 and only symbol is checked by default? Should I check all of these? Can someone help me understand these options?
Then it is looking for a .csv tag file? Am I supposed to export that from RS Logix 5? I don't remember an option to do that in RS Logix 5 only o export the comments and such? I need some guidance please on the correct way to make this export and what theses options in red lion are.
