Hello,

I would like to communicate with some B&R PLC that use presently a PVI driver.  
I cannot enable another communication on the PLC so I need to use this specific driver on the PLC, someone knows if this communication is modbus TCP compatible (same addresses)?  
thanking you in advance

Michel Feria

Hello michel\_feria,

Could you share your B&R PLC's Make, Model, Firmware Version ? It might help us find out more information on what your PLC supports. I would recommend contacting the B&R PLC manufacturer to confirm what protocols they support with your PLC Device.

But we have heard using Ignition's OPC UA Client connection to connect to the B&R's onboard UA Server
