Serial Data
« on: October 15, 2015, 09:07:25 AM »
Hi Archie:
I'm looking at an application that would have pressure test results on RS232 or TCP/IP (telnet). The goal is to grab pass/fail data and save it to an MS Access database along with other PLC sensor information. The PLC would be an AB 1766-L32BXBA which I have already used successfully with AdvancedHMI.  Would you suggest I bring p-test data in through PLC serial port or use VB to bring directly into the PC either serial or telnet? Thanks.

If the PLC program does not have a need for that information, I would run it directly into the PC. The SerialPort component makes it fairly easy to read from a COM port.
