Let me preface this by saying I'm very new to the PLC/automation world and am learning on the job.
My company is currently dealing with a "custom built" high pressure liquid chromatography skid running OPTO 22 hardware interface, and LC Responder user interface. LC Responder is a custom program from the vendor, which we are having trouble acquiring data from in a reasonable format.
We are currently running a Allen Bradley control logix system which is tied into a PI Historian, where data is collected via PI Process Book. What I want to do is pull the data and tags from the chromatography skid into our PI historian so we can completley work around the bad piece of software.
Could anyone give me any advice, or a starting point on how this can be done? There are not that many tags on the system, so having to configure engineering units, etc.. is not a big deal, I'm just looking for a starting point.
Thanks
