VB and the development of wizards / RSLinx DDE/OPC
« on: May 26, 2014, 03:17:48 PM »
Hello all!
I have been trying for over a week now to figure out how to make Mach3 talk to an Allen Bradley SL5/05 processor through Ethernet. What I have come to is loading RSLinx on the Mach3 computer and sharing a DDE object from there. What I really need now is sample code to read the DDE object from RSLinx.
The end game is to set a number in the N7 register to tell Mach3 which program to load and run from the PLC.
Thanks for any help anyone can give!
