Hi guys,
I'm new to Citect and have to setup a Scada system to monitorize a plant.
What we have now is 4 separate MPI networks with CPU315-2DP-s and different OPs on them. I have to get data from these networks to Citect but don't know what kind of communication should I use. (Also, in the future we want to monitorize plant energy consumption etc.)
I've found on the internet Ethernet gateways to MPI, which means that on the Citect side I could use a switch and a single card in the PC instead of 4 CP5611s (actualy I think that you can use max. 2 in a PC).
The problem is that I do not want to buy such gateways until I know that they will work with Citect.
Does anyone uses something like this with Citect? What brand? What kind of driver do I need for this?
Any other idea how to set up communication?
Thanks!
