Citect SCADA 2018 V8.1 and Bailey Infi 90 DCS compatibility with Ethernet CIU's ?

I have Citect SCADA 2018 V8.1 with a Bailey Infi 90 DCS system installed for 25 years now and looking to upgrade from our original INICT01 (CIU 01) which are serial port comms to Citect Server using the bailey serial port Driver without issue.

the new CIU's i am investigating are Ethernet comms, are there any other Citect uses out there that have done this upgrade and are willing to share their experience pro's and cons and any issues i need to be aware of ?

interested in the following,

- what driver to use for Ethernet comms

- compatibility issues ?

- known bugs ?

  • Hello Art,

    Many thanks for taking the time to reply, this is what i was hoping to hear from an end user or SI perspective. this is a large investment for this company as its 3 CIU's ( 2 being early INICT01) and 2 Citect Servers. System has been stable for 25 + years, i do not want to introduce issues, your last statement about "Rovisys" being more reliable than the "ABB" offering is exactly what i wanted to hear.
