Using a P1AM-100 to pull data from an omron CP1H-XA40DR-A
I want to pull the data from the Omron PLC and bring it to the P1AM-100, them send over the Ethernet to an IP address. I already do the data send to the IP address using the P1AM, I need to be able to add more data that I gather from the Omron PLC to add to it. Is this data grab possible from the Omron PLC?
Hi @Betz (Customer)
You should be able to get the data from an Omron PLC. It will use a Host Link protocol to get the information through serial communications.
Here is a post that will show the Arduino communicating serial "hostlink" to the Omron.

I have done a few posts with the Omron Host Link Protocol. This may come in handy for reference.
