Help! Anyone using DataWorks PLC with DO-More / ECOM-100?

[ETM TECH]

I have a project that requires data logging.  Because ECOM-100 is compatible with Dataworks PLC, and DO-More, I assumed that DO-More and Dataworks would be compatible (by default).  As my project is near completion, the Tech support guys at AD tell me they are not compatible and that AD will not support that combo (because there is no documentation).  Has anyone been able to make DO-More and DataWorks PLC communicate?  If not, is there any way to write data from DO-More to a .CSV file. 

Thanks in Advance!

Not familiar with Dataworx or how it, uh, worx.   Is it the master and the PLC is the slave?  Or is it passive and expects the PLC to explicitly send data?  A quick look at their website talked about "WX" instructions, which sounds as if they think the PLC is going to send data, unless they called their writes the same thing for commonality, but some other stuff suggests they work as the client/master.

In either case, Do-More has server and client functionality for Modbus RTU and  Modbus/TCP, and can emulate DirectLogic classic processors as client or server, so I'd think you could make it work (though you might need to add ladder specifically to support it).

I'm certain it can be made to work, and it won't be that hard. ADC's policy is driven by sustainability. To ensure consistency, without an app note, it can't be done. Fortunately, it can be done and we are happy to help. Please PM me your contact info and I'll have a tech contact you.

Thanks BobO!

I sent my contact info in a PM.  I look forward to the help.  I shutter to think today, that I would need to re-write my entire program in DS 5 for DL260.  That would take way too long.  The Task / Program arrangement in DO-More help so much to organize things.

Thx,
Eddie

I'm a little late in a post on this topic. This subject was also discussed in http://forum.automationdirect.com/showthread.php?t=11305 at the AutomationDirect forum. Note PDFs from Bizware on the usage with DoMore in one of my posts.
