Communication Studio 5000 with HMI Ignition

Ignition

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a proposal to migrate a PLC from L55 to L81E and replace the WinCC supervision system with one developed in Ignition. I have a question about the communication between Studio 5000 and Ignition: I understand it must be through an OPC server, but is it necessary to install and license FactoryTalk Linx or RSLinx, or would Ignition’s built-in OPC/driver be enough to communicate between the PLC and the Ignition HMI?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile: .

Studio 5000 is the software package used to program the Rockwell PLCs. You don't want Ignition talking to Studio 5000. You want it to talk to the PLC (which is what you asked later in the question).

Ignition's native drivers talk to the A-B PLCs.
