Hello, new to VEE (and programming).
I need to connect an 8753D + PC running VEE to a PLC. The VEE program looks at the data and decides pass or fail and just shows pass/fail on the PC screen. I need to connect this system to a PLC to report pass/fail only. Can anyone offer suggestions on what hardware to use and how to send the information? Currently I'm thinking to buy GPIB to USB and hope that the PLC will be recognized by the I/O program.
PLC info:
Mitsubishi FX3U-128M7
Thanks
Another thought- even the low end DIO devices seem overkill for what you need (single line hardware signal) so maybe you should take a look at a simple relay module. For instance https://numato.com/product/1-channel-usb-powered-solid-state-relay-module is VERY cheap and has a virtual serial port driver so should be trivial to talk to from VEE.
