I have an application where i need to log parameters entered by the user thru a Panel View 550. I will store this data in the micrologix 1500 PLC that the panel view is communicating with. What is the best way to generate a log of this information on a PC which will eventually be printed out. Should i use the printer port on the panel view and "print" all of this information to the PC when the customer plugs in his PC for the weekly download or should i use DF1 and setup communications that way thru the serial port? I am thinking that the print method will be much easier because i will just write up a little Visual Basic Application which will take the stream of data and format it for a report. Any help would be appreciated. I dont want the customer to have to buy RS linx single node.
