Currently we have a testing machine that takes a signal from load cells and runs it into a card on a pc which is then used to calculate force in a dos program. We are looking to upgrade the programming seeing as there are no new mobo's for dos based programming. We are thinking of using a plc for this and other functions of the testing machine but I am not sure how to go about taking the analog input and communicating it to the pc. Would one use a mov command?
Freely admit I am new to this and have gone thru the entire site with the online training and went to thelearningpit.com and picked up their software to learn how to program some.
Also I am not sure which type of plc to go with. Currently we have an micrologix 1100 sitting in our blow molder with a copy of rslogix 500 in house.
