How to communicate Micrologix 1400 with labview

[R2r]

We have a machine with 3 Micrologix 1400 PLCs, they are connected through ethernet, it is necessary to collect data from these PLCs,I tried with "ethernet/IP industrial communicatins" VIs (EIC), it was successful for ML 1100, but not with 1400, is there any toolbox like EIC for ML 1400; or is there a way to configure the EIC for the ML 1400?

Thank you

Arturo

Hi Arturo,

I have found this stuff that can be useful! Take a look at it and if it stills not woking we will keep in touch!!

Here is a KB about it: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/79570186202D330E862576740054D8E4?OpenDocument

The only thing is that this KB is in Spanish, if you don´t speak spanish I can help you translating it!

Now here is another forum in Spanish talking about it: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Discusiones-sobre-Productos-NI/Comunicar-Micrologix-1400-con-LabView/m-p/102...

Again I can help you with the language!!

Here is another Forum about it, this one is in English: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Lookout/Can-I-communicate-with-a-Micrologix-1400/m-p/1055546?requireLogin=Fa...

Finally this is a tutorial about how to connect any PLC with LV using OPC Servers!!
