Saving values to external file
Saving values to external file
(OP)
I have two questions:
1. Using a Micrologix 1000, can I turn on and off certain functions based on the time of day? I've searched for a clock function to use and am coming up empty-handed.
2. At the end of each day I would like to transfer information from my counters and timers to an external excel spreadsheet/database. Is this possible and how can I get started?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Ty

To transfer data to/from excel, you set up DDE or OPC topics up in RSLinx. I think you need RSLinx Professional to use OPC and DDE.
Hope this helps.
