I am a novice to PLCs. My company has asked me to do this project for them. It involves a SLC 503 and a winXP PC. They have asked me to create a mySql database in the PC and create a serial communication between the PLC and PC. I have with me RSLinx and RSLogix 500. They r not providing me with any other software. I can download mySql from the web. Will these be enough? Do i need a scripting language to make this work?
Now I have connected the SLC and the PC thru a serial cable. I went to RSLinx and tried to configure a DF1 driver. When i press the autoconfigure button, it is unable to do it and asks to check the communication link. I know this cable is good. Is there anything else i have to do to make this work?
I would like someone to guide me on this.
Thank u
