I have written a fairly complicated (at least for me) program for a Micrologix 1100. I am controlling several Kinetix and Powerflex drives over Ethernet. There is also a Panelview 800 in the system as well.
I have a large list of "parameters" that might change over time. These are not drive parameters but PLC integer and string values. They are values that change the feeds and speeds of the drives based on the part that the client wants to run.
Is there a way to upload or write to the PLC that doesn't require RSLogix500? I would like the client to be able to edit a value or two if they want to make a change. I just don't want to have to be there every time he wants to do it. I have heard about writing data to Excel but wasn't sure if there was a way to do it the other way.
As I write this I realize that it probably can't be done but I thought that I would ask. Maybe someone has a brilliant idea!
Thanks in advance
