Dear R&D,
We have a partner SI looking to connect to some RO Skids with Rockwell Micro850 PLC's and PanelView 800.
Is there a driver that can be used with Plant SCADA to communicate to the Micro850?
I read in another article from Indusoft they used Modbus TCP -MOTCP. Not sure if this would work here as ModNet or other?
Can you please advise.
Thanks.
Hi Kien Mac ,
It looks like there are quite a few options to communicate with this device:
- CIP Serial
- DF1
- Modbus RTU/ASCII
- EtherNetI/P
- Modbus TCP
There are a number of drivers available in Plant SCADA, namely:
- ABDF1FD (DF1)
- MODBUS (Modbus RT/ASCII)
- ABMLXEIP (EtherNet/IP)
- MODNET (Modbus TCP)
I think Modbus TCP / MODNET would be the easiest to get going.
They could also consider the ABMLXEIP driver, but this was tested against the following hardware, so might need some care when configuring:
MicroLogix 1000, 1100, 1200, and 1500 devices.
Hope this information helps.
Kind regards
Olivier
