Hi,
Thanks for your reply of factory PMI . I am working on it. This is related to IGNITION which has fascility to communicate with PLC.
I wanted to know how to directly communicate IGNITION with PLC .I am going to use some of the PLC which I wanted to communicate with IGNITION. I have gone through some of the forums, but I was unable to get an answer for the driver software. I am going to use :
GE FANUC PLC
ABB PLC
SIEMENS PLC
VIPA PLC
SCHNEIDER PLC
HONEYWELL PLC
These are main PLC ‘s I am working on it. In IGNITION I find a way to add a device ( Allen Bradley PLC ) which I did not find it in the lower version software. But I am unable to find an option to add a device for other PLC ‘s in IGNITION . In OPC-UA -> DEVICE -> ADD A DEVICE you have option only for Allen Bradley PLC . But if I am using GE FANUC OR ABB PLC, do I require a driver software for ABB or GE FANUC.If it is there how to use it.
For example In Siemens WinCc SCADA software you can find driver software with in the software ( available in [b].dll[/b] format ). You need to only install it from the file. So the same way I need driver software to communicate with PLC.
I have the driver software of SIEMENS WINCC SCADA and I tried to ADD it in IGNITION software, but there is no result .The main reason I do not know how to add it. If it is possible please let me know how to use it. And how to get the other PLC driver software which I mentioned above and how to install it.
If it is available how to find it and how to install it. I could n’t find any area to ADD the correspondent driver software.
And We have already raised this question before regarding UNIX BASED SYSTEM. If i wanted to communicate with UNIX based system, i have to use the same settings or do i require any other special settings for this. Can you tell me about this also.
