Just on its headline marketing material, I would not expect that one to work. Ignition's native driver doesn't work on PLC channel 0 serial at all, so routing via ethernet doesn't help. But take a look at this topic: > [@\[SOLVED\] Has anyone connected Ignition to a SLC 5/03 using a Digi One IAP?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/solved-has-anyone-connected-ignition-to-a-slc-5-03-using-a-digi-one-iap/50470): > > The Digi One SP doesn’t seem to work with Ignition. I couldn’t find any solutions. I bought a Digi One IAP and got it working in about 30 hours. See the solution below. Consider trying the Digi product--I suspect it will work on the PLC-5 family, too. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/plc-5-communications-via-gateway/52222)._
