Intouch 8 and SLC 503

Lost_Man · Mar 24, 2006

Hello
I am wondering if there is a driver or another program other than Rslinx to read data from SLC503 to Intouch 8.
Alot of threads here suggest buying RSlinx OEM or professional, but I dont have the resources for that. I am learning on my own and trying to get into SCADA. The price range for RSlinx is beyond on what I can afford.
So please if you know of a solution that wont cost much (less than $100) let me know know
Thanks

If the serial port is free, you can use the free Wondeware Serial/DF1 driver. If you want the DH485, you will need a 3rd party IO server.

If this is only for training, then you can use www.softwaretoolbox.com 's OPC server that is fully functional but two hours limited (you have to restar it each 2 hours)

You can use Kepware OPC for limited time.

Lost Man,

I have seen "used" copies of RSLinx on E-Bay for less than $100. Right now (3/25/06) there is a used copy of RSLogix 500 with master key disk and RSLinx Professional for $265.

I have downloaded and installed Matrikon opc for Allen Bradley, when I tried to run it, it gave me an error about program ID.
"Could not find ProgID 'PSTCFGMatrikon.OPC.AllenBradley'!
When I installed I just kept the dafault ID "Matrikon.OPC.AllenBradley" I also tried "Matrikon.OPC.AllenBradley.1"
