Is there a way to send a string from a DL06 to a PC with TCP/UDP using the ECOM module? I am trying to use a DL06 to interface with a SQL database. I want to be able to send an SQL instruction (the string) to the database on the SQL server to update or modify it.

There are at least two ways you can do that.
Automation Direct sells a software package called DataWorx. I believe you can configure it to log data to a SQL Database. I know one of the programs they sell does it. I submitted an order at work for it just recently. lol http://web6.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Software_Products/PLC_Data_Logging_-z-_Web-based_Monitoring_Software/DataWorx_Ethernet_Data_Logging_Software/DataWorx_PLC
You could always write your own software to log the data as well. Refer to the report-by-exception information on the following page: http://hosteng.com/HW-Products/ECOM/ECOM.htm
Good luck!

What about just using the PRINT statement and using port 2?

This is great stuff, thanks. The PLC is sending strings to my PC and I have a VB program that catches the string off the network. Thanks for your post, Chris.
