I've got a Micrologix 1500 connected to an ethernet hub via 1761-NET-ENI module. Plugged in the hub: I have a PV550 and a PC running WonderWare.
I'm attempting to create graphics on our existing WonderWare(v7.11) PC that are similiar to the graphics on the PV550 (to allow the operator to operate at the local panel which contains the PV550 and operate from the front of the machine on our existing wonderware PC).
I've created the following:
1)OPC/DDE topic in Linx looking at the mircoLogix (topic name=flynn)
2)OPCLINK topic:
topic name = flynn
opc server name = rslinx opc server
opc path = flynn
3) Acess Name in Intouch(WW):
access name = flynn
application name = opclink
topic name = flynn
protocol = dde
when to advise server = advise only active items
I'm testing 2 tags (1 binary and 1 integer).
1)MotorOn (address = B3:3/3)
2)TurnNo (address = N7:27)
I've run OPC Test Client and added the two ItemID addresses above and every thing looks good. When I change the stats or values from the PV550, I seem an subvalue update on the Test Client and Sub Quality = good.
Problem:
The problem I'm having is getting my Intouch(WW) graphic to read and/or write to these addresses.
Intouch Tagname =
1) MotorOn:
type=I/O discrete
AcessName = Flynn
Item = B3:3/3
2) TurnNo:
type= I/O integer
AcessName = Flynn
Item = N7:27
Anyhelp with the correct Intouch Item address scheme, or anything else that one sees wrong would be greatly aprecciated.
Thanks!!
