Spot on guys, works a treat..... cheers...
and by the way Archie, thanks for the great bit of software...now hopefully i can convince the AB loving PLC tech at work that this software is easier to use and build with, and as good as if not better than the applications we are using now.....
thanks again
Matt
Madmax, I am one of the old AB guys and have been looking for years to find a better way. I think Archie's drivers are the best. I have convinced my company away from AB's high cost. Check out AutomationDirect's Productivity series PLC's they are more powerful then the AB and only a fraction of the cost. The software is free and the support is better. I have two of Archie's 10 inch panels both are talking to 2 PLC one AB and one P2-250. All are working very well and with the AdvancedHMI software I can scan a barcode pass it to the Database and get a valid or invalid with in 1 sec. Lot of people on here to help with anything. Better support than AB. Good Luck.
