Hi All.

First post for me. We are currently using ignition for our Building Management System. Is there a way that we can do PLC backups (Siemens and Allen Bradley) utilizing ignition? I am mainly looking to do a complete file backup from the plc containing tags and the logic.

Thanks!

Frank

Ignition itself will not be able to pull backups through it’s drivers but you could install software on the server running Ignition. Factorytalk assetcentre or such.
