If you haven’t checked out [www.inducitveuniversity.com](http://www.inducitveuniversity.com) yet there is a lot of info there. I’ve never used ABB PLCs before, but if it supports Modbus you can use the Modbus driver in the Ignition gateway, gateway-\>configure-\>devices to connect. If not, Kepware has drivers for ABB Totalflow which would work if that is the protocol it uses. The Ignition online manual has pages on Modbus connections and Kepware integration.

You are able to get data but it keeps going to disconnected? It is an AC500? If so, they have a small default connection timeout OMB Time , already had problem with this with another SCADA system. ---

Yes, OMB time is a setting under modbus tcp server object. You access it in Automation Builder project tree.
