Can I connect Win911 to Ignition using the OpcCom Module?

Is there any other way to connect Win911 to Ignition so that an Ack get through to Ignition?

Erik,

I have used SCADAPhone (very similar to Win911) on a couple of jobs with Ignition. What I normally do for the Ack back to Ignition is set up a dummy register in the PLC, and have SCADAPhone/Ignition look at that register for the “Global Acknowledge.” Not the most ideal setup, but it does work.

Thanks.
Joe

You can’t directly connect to Win911 using the OPC-COM module. I had to use KepWare, then connect Win911 to Kepware and Ignition to Kepware using the OPC-COM module, you can use OPC-UA to connect to Kepware, but its a few more steps because you have to set up certificates. Also note that the there is a bug with OPC-UA connection dropping out and not reconnecting. I don’t know if this has been resolved yet.

Set Win911 alarm to acknowledge on return to normal, then you are going to have to write some script that sets a tag when in alarm condition and resets it when an acknowledge button is pressed in Ignition.
