You could perhaps use SNMP?

Someone made a simple module for free that you might be able to use:

> Hi all. [Here](https://github.com/gitRaiku/Snmp-Ignition-Module) you have a simple SNMP function tested with v1/v2c devices under V8 As of now the only operation available is snmp Get and can be called by using system.snmp.snmpGet(‘community’, ‘address’, port, ‘OID’) Returns value as string I was in need of a simple function for SNMP. The driver on market seems a little complicated and the free one made by BYES for V7.9 is not free anymore for V8 ( for a good reason ) So I asked my son for help, we took the function example, tweaked the cod…

You could also use:  
[Kymera Systems Inc | IIoT Solutions - Kymera SNMP Driver](https://www.kymerasystems.com/kymera-snmp-driver/) , but that one is not free.

You might have to do a bit of research to find the right OID etc. This post could be a good start:

Another technique could be to run a batch file with system.util.execute(). This post might be a good start:
