He didn't try the DDE stuff that I've been messing with. you get the idea.Īs far as an emulator, our tech guy didn't have a chance yesterday to come over, but he got the emulator to run on his laptop.

One project I'll be using a PLC-5, the next a Control Logix, the next a GE. Every one of our machines is custom-built to the customer's specs.
KEPSERVEREX RSLOGIX EMULATE HOW TO
Thanks for the offer, but I need to know how to do this so that I can write software that is machine-specific. I'll let you know about the emulate software. Meanwhile, I'm going to try to get regular VB and see what that does for me. At that point, scan times may be an issue though. Since Logix timers are set up in 1000ths of a second, I could theoretically set a compare to spit out the data table every 5 1000ths of a second to give me 200 samples per second (If everything can keep up). Ideally, I would like to set up a timer in the PLC and have it kick the analog data to the laptop at intervals on that timer. The analog channels are the only ones I'd need to transfer fast because we want to watch for current spikes, pressure spikes, and voltage dips. I need a simple data collection system that I can hand the laptop to a mechanical engineer for him to take in the field to pretty much plug in and go to it on any machine. My application is nowhere near as complex as yours is. The most I'll need to transfer is probably 10-15 analog channels, a few miscellaneous integers, and a few words worth of bits. Right now, I'm only reading 1 analog channel until I get the data transfer to a rate that is acceptable. Also, I need to set up a timer so that I can input how many samples per second I want and have it sample at those intervals. It's been over 5 years since I've used VB though, so I'm a bit out of the loop. It says it's 6.3, but it doesn't seem to me to be a full-blown version since it doesn't look like it has as many options as the one I used in college. I'm using the Visual Basic that is built-in to Excel because I want to export the manipulated data into Excel.

If you were able to sample faster than 60 samples per second with OPC through Linx, could you share that with me please? I'm looking for at least 100 with 200 being ideal. I checked into a full-blown version a while ago, but for the amount of money that it costs, I figured I'd just use RSLinx instead since I already have it. It's basically just for communicating between AB Panel/VersaViews and anyone else's PLCs. I would try Kepware, but the only version we have is what came with RSView which is very limited. I'm trying to do some data acquisition with a Compact Logix over Ethernet into VB using a DDE link through RSLinx, but the fastest I can get it to sample is 60 samples per second. I used it on a VersaView to communicate with a GE 90-30 PLC over Ethernet. If you're interested in communicating with PLCs other than AB, check out Kepware.
