How to do the Emulate (rs emulate)read the pc com port (#1),when the rslogix emulate is running at the same time.

RSEmulate can use a PC COM port as though it was the controller's Channel 0 port in either User Mode (with ASCII instructions) or in System Mode (for DF1 or DH485 protocol).

It's all described in the Help file and configured through the Settings drop-down menu.
 
Let put my doubt in another words, there is a way to read data from my pc com port( #1) and transfer to internal register maybe, N7:0 or anyone. I need read this data in RSLogix 500 running Emulator 500.
I know that ascii (ascii ARD) instructions but first we need communicate with another drive (AB df1 not work in my case).
pT. I'm try to read data from pic16f877a. This is not a ALLEN Bradley device. So that drivers dont work.
 
The English word you want to use is "question", or "inquiry", not "doubt".

You must implement a protocol in the microcontroller that the SLC-500 understands. With the Emulate 500 controller, your options are ASCII or DF1 Full Duplex.
 
My interest lies in solving a technical problem and not discuss the syntax of english words.

Returning to the real world, I think I found a solution using a economical solution. factory talk studio has a more user-friendly platform or even the scada software. And thanks for your spent time with my "doubt".
 
How will FactoryTalk View substitute for RSEmulate, or for the PIC microcontroller ?

In any case, good luck with your project.
