Good afternoon! I am trying to connect my GE9030 to Ignition through ethernet. Which device driver on the device connections page should I use?

There are some posts that say Modbus TCPIP is an option for some newer processors. If your’s doesnt support Modbus then Kepware may be the answer.

FYI Newer processors such as Rx3is and CPLs have built in OPC UA servers that can talk directly to Ignition.
