I'd like to learn more regarding Visual Basic's potential application in Industrial automation.
For example, our company builds industrial machinery. Every one has a control done by some HMI and one of the PLC such a GE Fanuc, Modicon, AB, or Siemens. Now I would like to use PC with Visual Basic to do the same. I would like to create my HMI and to control all my I/O points by Visual Basic. I have learned the basic of VB. How can VB and I Use PC and Communicate with Allen Bradley SLC 500 PLC?
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this, or where can
                         I obtain some for information regarding such topic. Thanks.
