I was wondering if anyone successfully connected to Healy-Ruff Micro PAC controller to Ignition. I would appreciate some direction on how to bring this system into Ignition

Looks like they probably support Modbus TCP (if yours has an ethernet port), so you should be able to use the Modbus driver to bring it into Ignition.

Anant, I've removed the Perspective tag as connection to the controller is nothing to do with the Perspective module.

Perspective is one of Ignition's **two** user interface modules. (The other is Vision.) How you connect your Ignition gateway to a PLC is unrelated to which user interface technology you wish to use to display that PLC's data.

No, you had added it to the tags under your question title. It would just confuse people trying to help.  
No problem.
