Title: Interfacing Micrologix 1000 Analog PLC with Machines Simulator using RSLinx Clas
Post by: Industrialyzer on December 09, 2023, 11:00:32 PM
Dear group. I'm facing a complex communication situation with my plc. It is complicated to interface my plc from Allen Bradley MicroLogix 1000 Analog with the simulation software Machines Simulator. Currently, I'm trying to communicate via OPC or factory talk, but I'm not having any good response. 😕 Please if you have any suggestion be free to give me your important feedback. Thanks.

Please take note of this two important points:

1) If you use the OPC communication option, be sure you have installed the OPC Core Components Redistributable. Available here: https://nirtec.com/forum/index.php?topic=529.0 (https://nirtec.com/forum/index.php?topic=529.0)

2) In order to be able to read/write the PLC Tags, you must use the Controller Tags, otherwise the tags will not be shared with the OPC driver.

Here you have a tutorial step by step where is explained:
