Connecting Micrologix 1100 to an Access database?
chris_85 posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hello! I am pretty new to PLCs and I am doing a small project for my class. I am making an LED turn On/Off using the force function and I need to send the results in terms of 1's and 0's to an MSOffice Access database through the RS232 cable. I have the basic RSLogix500 7.0 version and the RSLinx Lite version. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.. -
Setting an IP address for Micrologix 1100
chris_85 posted a topic in Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Hello, I am trying to connect the Micrologix 1100 PLC to an OPC server (MatrikonOPC- 30 days trial version). I have RSLinx Classic Lite version and I am trying to assign an IP address to the ML1100. Do I need a higher version of RSLinx to achieve this? If the Lite version is enough for assigning, could anyone lead me to a tutorial showing how to assign one or tell me how to do it myself? Any help would be greatly appreciated.... -

I am trying to make the Micrologix 1100 to connect to an Access database. I have only the RSLinx Classic Lite version which does not have the DDE/OPC funtionality, I know that I would need a higher version of the software to make it work. I am only a student and I cannot afford to upgrade to the higher version (costs about 995$). Can anyone suggest a free to try software for achieving this?? Please.... Thanks -

Well, I attended a class in PLCs and I wanted to do a simple project on my own. I just wanted to do a project where I could do the front end and the dashboard which displays a result and not just learn how to program the PLC. Instead of using the force function in the RSLogix, I wanted to create an Access database which could be used to control the PLC. Its just for demostration purpose and I am not going to be using the OPC server for long. Hence, I thought of going for a trial version of the software. It would be great if I could use it for 30 days....
