Hey there, Sorry for the kick, but i wanted to take a look at the SD Card Explorer, but it doesn't work in VB 2010. I can convert it, but after converting, the project won't load. Are you guys planning on making a newer version?

Thanks for the help. I will see if i can figure out how to get the data from texboxes directly to the PLC(which are 2 Unitronics 130's)

Thanks, We decided to go and use Visual Basic as we want as little software to be needed as possible. How about the own .net drivers from Unitronics? my knowledge of PLC's is little, as i just started working with them. From what i understand, they use a table to control the I/0 devices attached to the plc. Do you have any handles for me on how to convert a textbox filled by the user(with for example a weight of 100kg) thus that it can be send to the plc? I thought the textboxes have to be saved to a .CSV which can somehow be send to the PLC (which can then convert it).

Hello, If someone has already asked this, i'm sorry, i checked the forum but didn't find anything. I'm currently busy with a combinations of machines that each have their own PLC and communicate with eachother. This part is figured out, we let the machines communicate using WIFI (2 of the 3 machines need to be able to drive around). However, what remains is the software to tell the machines what to do. The operator of the machines should be able to just choose the type(s) of food, the amount in kg's of each food and where it has to be taken to by the last machine. He has to be able to schedule the task and be able to schedule several tasks. i tried a lot of googling, but either i'm searching in the wrong places or using the wrong keywords or something, cause i can not find usefull information. So i was wondering, can any of you help me get started? I expected to have to write software for this in VB, but i understand that it should also be possible to do this in Excel?
