Hello Need to be able to print out data from an AB 1200 Looking at useing the com port. Dont want the expence of WonderWare of RS View. Does someone sell a cheap package for this ? $200-$300 ? If not... Is there a easy way to print... I need to print something like the values of F8:0 - F8:30 Ability to format or dump to Excell would be great ! thanks Mark30504@yahoo.com

Do you have RS Linx Single Node or RS Linx Professional? If you do, then you can create a DDE topic to Excel and print values. With a little bit of Excel scripting you can make excel grab the valus from the PLC, then print a report say every eight hours for each shift.
