Hey you guys!
As a part of my masterthesis I need to setup some sort of communication between a PC and a PLC.
The PLC needs te be able to read and write data from and to a database which is located on the PC.
I've been searching on the internet the last few hours and I've found some information but it's still not very clear to me.
A common way of doing this is using OPC, right?
Are there any other ways of doing it?
I've read about Modbus, but I think that the PLC I'm using doesn't support this.
Also writing your own dll but this doesn't sound very attractive since the project is going to be implemented in industrial applications so it needs to be without any errors.
I've read something called DAVE for Siemens, but I can't find any decent information on the fella!
Also, programming: I've read it's done in C++, are there other options because this is one I haven't tried once?
I hope someone out here can help me with these questions, I'd appreciate it!
Kind regards,
Kevin
