    Angry Help For PC PLC Communication........

    B]I am having network of 4 PCs, 4 PLCs and one server.
    I want my server to read PLC Signals and send the information to respective PC.
    Is this possible?
    If so, will tcp/ip is useful or DDE service is ok?
    I want VB(PC)-VB(PC) communication as well as VB(PC)-PLC communication.
    I am doing PC-PLC communication using RsLinx

    Thanks for reply.

    I did the same exact thing but I used OPC from VB to do this.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.

    I don't know if you managed to figure this out yet but the key in your case would be to use RSLinx Gateway. Have all of your VB apps connect to a "Server" running RSLinx Gateway, then the "Server" can connect to all the PLCs
