Hello All
Do any of you have experiance sending and receiving ASCII using
Visual Basic and Automation Directs DL06 via com ports.
I working on a project that requires me to do this. Sending and receiving ASCII is a first for me.
I would like to send simple (1)s or (0)s values directly to the memory locations and thereby turn indivisual bits on/off using a comparitive contact (greater than or equal to 1 = on less than
turns it off). Then send back simple (1)s or (0)s back to veiw the outputs status. I have read this sites tutorial and wonder if it is in this case required that I convert to HEX as everthing is (1)s and (0)s.
(At a latter time I will tackle analog outs and ins but for right now I would be happy to see an output light up via VB)
In addition How do you all like (or do you) Automation Directs PLCS?
As you can probably see I need some help with this.
Brian
