comm with plc

is it posible to read inputs of a plc using a script in the controller ?

You can print values from our controller over RS232, and USB using the print() function in MicroBasic. You can also change our user variables in a script, which are sent over TPDOs in CANOpen, or construct raw can messages to send in RawCAN mode.

Please let me know which communication protocol you are planning to use with our controllers (USB, RS232, or CAN) or if you wanted to do something over GPIO, and I will give you recommendations for resources or implementation advice.

im using rs232 but i want to sent input data from the plc to your controller is this posible

is it possible to use user boolean variables and then in the plc using rs232 change them according to the inputs of the plc?

Yes, you can use the !VAR command to set a collection of variables that are accessible over our serial interface. Please take a look at the !VAR documentation starting on page 235 of our User Manual :


By using !VAR you can set values of up to 32 integers from a serial connection by using the serial command

Where nn is the variable number and mm is the value you are trying to set. Then in MicroBasic you can check the value you just sent using the function getValue():
