The NEW Next Driver Poll

Kyle_Chase · August 31, 2012, 6:11pm

We are currently working on this driver. ETA of roughly 2 months.

Wow. Great to read. We should be abble to make the customer wait for this.
First for beta. We have great specific MIB to try !

GE-SRTP
Ethernet for GE PLCs.

Too bad SRTP is proprietary, it would make things a lot easier (and likely to happen) otherwise

Sorry I missed your reply.
If this is true…How do TopServer and Matrikon do it??

Reverse-engineering or shady back room deals

Same way they do Allen-Bradley… And most other drivers with no public specification.

How about a Modbus serial driver.

profadi2 · February 13, 2013, 11:39am

I Think IEC 61850 would be the best option for now and future business.

gnguyen · February 13, 2013, 11:44am

Hi,

I think that in nowadays “energy efficiency” focus on all activities (industry, building, tansportation…), BACnet should be a good option too.
Beside this, the object and service orientation of BACnet would be a great match with Ignition UDT/Templating…

jose.granero · March 24, 2013, 7:36pm

IEC61850 should be added

A first vote for a Beckhoff driver.
Beckhoff uses a open protocol so that can be no problem for the Inductive team

Any updates regarding the SNMP driver?

zxcslo · August 5, 2013, 5:36pm

Passive TCP driver. Or an option to choose between active/passive connection in TCP driver.

I have a handheld WLAN scanner IDM140WLAN from SICK, which I can’t use (I have just been on phone with the support), because scanner is also making active connection.

blakekinder · September 30, 2013, 8:47pm

My vote would be for Opto22 or Beckoff.

d.laquidain · January 16, 2014, 5:47pm

An ADS driver for beckhoff would be great.

Beckhoff has a java api which you can develop your own driver.

Here are examples of that.

Kymera Systems Inc has an SNMP Driver available for Ignition: marketplace.inductiveautomation. … oduleId=78

BSH · March 11, 2014, 10:54am

Can we get an update on what’s happening on the development front for drivers, any drivers in the pipeline to be rolled out in next version of Ignition?

Kevin.Herron · March 11, 2014, 1:18pm

Ignition 7.7 will include a new Logix driver that works with v21 firmware (as well as older firmwares). There’s no other drivers in active development right now.

BSH · March 11, 2014, 6:14pm

Thanks for the update Kevin.

Javachon · April 14, 2014, 5:47pm

DNP3 is a must for Ignition to be used in electric utilities. I would really like to see a DNP3 driver.
