Technical support / HOSTLINK COMMAND & EXCEL IMPORT
« on: May 16, 2023, 07:17:32 AM »
Hi Tech
Seem to be having a little trouble with importing data from a wx100 using the hostlink commands. I have a spreadsheet setup which can happily connect to nano plcs on our network. When I tried to connect to my wx100 using the following web data link - http://153.52.35.180:9080/HOSTLINK/RVIA* - all works well and good at
the web page level. However, when I try to import the data to an excel cell the machine just keeps on trying and eventually comes up with a message that the data cannot be connected. This is strange because when I just simply use a web browser the expected data appears correctly in the web browser window. I them went and tried the same exercise on another pc and whilst I can again happily connect to nano plcs on the site and access data from the same integer location within the plc, then all is well and good, but then when I try it on the wx100, it seems to lock up just after clicking the import option. It seems as though there is some conflict at the excel
import stage??
