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 ?

  • I have used Rovisys for many years for Citect to communicate to all versions of the system. This has included all levels of CIUs including first serial to the ABB IET800 and then most recently the ABB IET800 via Ethernet as ABB has locked out the serial communication. Never any problems and it is a very powerful tool and designed by ex Bailey people.. ABB does offer their own OPC server but it is very expensive and does not have the reliability and performance of Rovisys.

    Thanks again for the info you provided Art, we are proceeding with the Rovisys Option over the ABB Offering.
