Hello,
I intend to connect to a ControlLogix 5571 PLC through a work station and program it. One way is to install the RSLinx driver and then use the Studio 5000 (RSLogix) to upload / download projects onto the PLC. Is there any other way for doing the same? Is it possible to connect to the PLC serially (through the USB) and run a client like PuTTY / serial consoles (minicom, picocom) on the workstation, and then interface with the PLC?
Also, I have one other query. What is the firmware that is running on the PLC? Is it VxWorks OS? Or some modification?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
