Hi All,

I am using the available Ethernet port of X201583 to connect B&R X20 PLC to Ignition over OPC-UA.  
Is is possible to connect B&R PLC X201583 to Ignition without using BC0087 module?

Steps followed to connect the B&R PLC and Ignition without using BC0087 module are as follows.

1. B&R PLC (Available Ethernet Port) ---------\>(Cat 5) Cable ---------\> Ignition PC
2. I created the “New Device” clicking “Add New Device”
3. I configured the B&R PLC’s IP address and Port number in the “Newly Created Device”.
4. Clicked on “Save”
5. Ignition shows status of Device as “Connected”
6. I configured the IPAdrees, Subnet mask manually in PC(Network Connection \>Local Area Connection\>Properties \> TCP/IP ) on which Iginition is installed.
7. In Ignition i clicked on “Add OPC Server configuration”
8. I configured HostName: localhost , Port: 4096
9. Clicked on “Save”
10. OPC-UA Server was running successfully.
11. I can Browse B&R PLC in the Ignition but unable to see Tags which i created as Global Tags in B&R PLC.

Kindly suggest.

Best Regards  
Vikas
