Pepperl+Fuchs has some nice options for IO-link to OPC-UA.
I look forward to when IFM comes out with one
Neil, Iāll look back at this when I can. To be hone2st, we found the IFM solution to be quite wonky and abandoned implementation after POC. We did get it to workā¦it just wasnāt all that reliable. IIRC, we set up a OPC server and read the data from the module with the IOT port>
As I said, Iāll go back and look at my notes when I canā¦ but this just didnāt strike us as a mature solution.
Oh, they do have one
All fine and dandy but if IFM says I can bring in sensor info into Ignition from a master without a plc, then I should be able to do it.
You absolutely can, just the scripting they use in the demo udt doesnāt scale particularly well. Make your own script for it and itās much better. I actually wrote a module for it that also worked nicely, but itās still stuck in alpha.
