Communication driver for M580 Hotstandby Controller and AVEVA plant scada integration..

Hemant

Hello All,

For our new project configurations, we had M580 redundant controllers (H58-4040) with AVEVA plant scada 2023 (citect) with redudant servers.

For M580 integration we had two drivers - 

 

From these, is MODBUS/TCP is stable?  as we do not want to add one more software product OFS in configuration.

Or we should go with OFSOPC for more reliable and fault free operations post commissioning. Overall we may have 10,000 tags on SCADA.

Please advise.

Warm regards

Hemant

  • Yeah, there’s no native UMAS driver for Citect, which is kind of odd considering Schneider have owned it for 14-15 years or so.

    The Modbus drivers should be stable, they’ve been around long enough.

    The OFSOPC driver is used in conjunction with OFS. This is going to be your only way to use tag based addressing. Also note that OFS should be license free when installed on the Citect server.
