I am writing to ask how I can transfer data from a micrologix 1500 to a PC text file. I would like to use the serial port on the PC. I'm just not sure what I need for code, HELP. Thank You

What kind of data from PLC?

integer values; "machine rate", "good pieces", "reject Pieces", counter and timer accumulator values. These values may also need to be sent to an excel spreadsheet.

Then you might need RS Linx Single Node or RS Linx Professional to setup a DDE link from PLC to Excel.
