A quick look through their manual suggests that you will have to build your own.

You may want to contact Thermtron, though, as they may have ottions not yet listed on the website.

Did you look at the C# TCP "drivers" here?

Looks like they're just sending ASCII commands and getting responses.

Hello ,
I believe that If the device supports TCP/IP communication, then the TCP driver should be able to communicate with it. The TCP driver listen directly t port and collects data sent to that port.

@michael.flagler So we need to do programming to send ASCII command & get response or It can be browse automatically with configuration in Ignition TCP driver?

@michael.flagler @JordanCClark Please help me for That

Yes.

No, the TCP driver will not automatically do this for you. It has no idea of what it is connecting to. One write tag, one read tag.

I would say your best options are as follows:

  • Script your communications. Send request, read response, write to tag.
  • Contact Thermotron and see if there is an OPC package available.
