I have a question about how to create a tag for a checkweighter. We have a few Metler-Toledo in the plant and I would like to know if it is possible to also have them link to Ignition system. I am running a network fir all my equipment with the same IP group (192.168.1.xx) but all my check weighters have different IPs (170.123.56.xx). 1. Can I add them to my network? 2)if so, do I have to change the IP on the checkweighter to match my network or can I keep the IPs unchanged? 3)What device I have to select to configured it? 2. Do I have to contact Metler-Toledo about this? . Any help would be greatly appreciated!! ---

There is a module already developed to interface to some models: [http://marketplace.inductiveautomation.com/moduledetail?5&moduleId=63](http://marketplace.inductiveautomation.com/moduledetail?5&moduleId=63) I would but a second NIC in the Ignition gateway and keep the scales in their own subnet. ---

You can also multi-net your interface, which would require different steps depending on your OS. The better solution would be adding a second NIC, or using a VLAN. ---

Also, we have used the aforementioned module with MT scales a few years ago, worked great. ---

I will try to get the module then. Thanks
