Citectscada 2018

yuri 
Encountered the following problem:
1. configured the OFS server through the OFS configurator, through the OFS client checked the connection. Connection successful, variables visible.
2. Configure Scadacitect 2018.
3. created a test page, output a variable, run the project, the variable is 0 (which does not match), in the OPC server the number of client connections is 0. There is an error in Citect IOserver not found, Cluster not found.
4. used as the OFSOPC driver in the m580 folder.
5. It is worth noting that OFS 3.61 as part of Citectscada 2018 is installed on the server Windows 2012R2.

Please help if possible.

  • So, you want to communicate M580 with Citect using OFS client.

    1). You need to enable Data dictionary in Unity Pro Project Setting.

    2).Open your OFS client give it a name(M580) to the alias .

    3) Providing IP address pointing to your PLC

    4) In the device type select M580 and save the configuration.

    5)Open Citect either create new project or you can use the one in which you're already working.

    6)Go to Topology and add new IO device.

    7)Provide name to IO device and IO server, and select External IO device.

    8)Use OFS OPC drive and define the name(M580) which you've configured in OFS configuration..

    9) Check mark the "Link IO device to an external tag databse" option.

    10) Click on the Browse button and select the server and Branch (M580) .

    11)Add prefix if you want then click "Next" and "Finish"

    12)It will automatic import the variable from PLC to Citect with the OFS OPC server and generate a notepad summary of the process.
