I want to set up a link between PLC and Matlab/Simulink or Labview. I searched for the link and I found the OPC server solution. I have a RSLinx Lite software from Rockwell. I wonder if I can use it as an OPC server?
OPC server is an software installed in PC and that PC will connected to your PLC through network or cable. And this software can support your PLC. You can consider to Matricon, Kepware OPC server.
there is a great example in Ni.com about this connection of OPC servers to your PLC
just go to webcasts in Ni.com and search for opc server with kepware im sure you will find it.i just saw it and it blew my mind off
