Hello,
I am fairly new to Ignition and we have acquired a Turck TX700 HMI/PLC Series. I have been asked to get images and data off of this HMI/PLC and was wondering if anyone knew the best way to do this. I know there are no specific device connections on the gateway for Turck PLCs.
Here is what the brochure says about the device "The device supports a variety of fieldbus communication capabilities; including the ability to function as a scanner (master) for EtherNet/IP®, PROFINET®, and Modbus TCP, or as a server (slave) on Modbus TCP, and OPC-UA."
Has anyone connected to these types of HMI/PLCs before? And if so, how was it completed?
Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Based on that description, you could use either Ignition's Modbus driver or a direct OPC UA connection.
A direct OPC UA connection will probably be the best experience because you'll be able to browse to and then drag/drop tags into Ignition.
How you set either of those up on the Turck side I don't know, you'll have to read their user manual.
