I have a ABB piece of equipment that wont communicate with my PLC. I was wondering if anyone has had to copy the tags from one PLC (ABB) into ignition and copy them to a set of tags in ignition that my other PLC reads?

What driver are you using to connect your ABB? How are you addressing your tags?  
I have ABB PLCs that I can connect but I can’t read or write anything from/to them.
