Isagraf 6.1 ABB Totalflow Issues

I recently installed Isagraf ver. 6.1 on a Windows 7 machine. I am also running PCCU Ver. 7.40.1.


I cannot two programs I developed for an ABB G4 6790 RTU. The G4 is connected to my company laptop via a local lan.

ABB supplies a IEC-61131 developers manual that shows hot to deploy Isagraf programs to an ABB Totalflow G4 device. I ran through the quick-setup guide.

I configured a ETCP (Enhanced TCP/IP protocol) network in the deployment window and set the target IP address of the Totalflow.

I also imported the Totaflow definition file into Isagraf.

When I attempt a download, I receive the following errors:

No Target Alive Found for 169.254.0.12
The submitted password is not correct.

I can ping the Totalflow RTU from my laptop.

are you using that ip address? That seems like one of thedefault ip's that gets assigned if windows doesnt recognize a dhcp server. I would look at assigning the proper ip address for the existing network or setup a new private network between the 2 devices.

I am not familiar with the totalflow, But i use ISAGRAF on scadapacks quite a bit. On the scadapack, I must download a different firmware (replaces telepace firmware with isagraf firmware ) using the scadapack firmware downloader. is there a similar process for the totalflow? i know id get a similar problem if there was a telepace firmware in the scadapack.

ABB does not state anywhere in their documentation that a different firmware version needs to be installed. I will speak with ABB later today to see if that is the case.

However, they do require an IEC license in the XRC G4, of which I have already installed.

"are you using that ip address? That seems like one of thedefault ip's that gets assigned if windows doesnt recognize a dhcp server. I would look at assigning the proper ip address for the existing network or setup a new private network between the 2 devices. "


The two devices are already configured on a private network. There is no DHCP involved. I have my laptop configured as a static IP address on the same subnet. I also tried changing the IP address in the RTU to 169.254.0.13. Still no luck.

Here is a snapshot of the IsagrafOPC.log It appears IsaGraf does not see the controller. Communications are on port 1131. Do I need to create a generic comm. app in PCCU and open the port 1131?
