Re: How do I transfer data to AB PLC 5-40E with OPC?



Thanks Dave,
I am familiar with Datasocket but am not with the PLC interface. THe customer is in Mexico and I am not; I do not have access to an A/B here. How do I know how which data points to assign on the PLC? Do I ask the customer for a range of addresses? I can see how it works if you are developing on the system with the PLC attached, but I need to make the exe and send it away without being able to connect to the system. Do I set up the datasocket for a flattened string or can I set an array of numbers? Is there an OPC tutorial or something I can work from? The help files are nice but it is hard to search for something that you don't know exists. Thanks for your help.
