I would imagine it might be possible to construct one with open sockets wouldn't it? Not that I would know how, but I thought Open Sockets opened all possibilities...[/QUOTE]
It is possible, but takes a bit of time and generally not something most PLC programmers have experience doing.
We have done communication via custom protocols in the PLC & via the SCADA.
There are so many protocols and most PLC's only speak a few out of the box. The SCADA has many built in.
Of course controls from hardware via SCADA to PLC are not Safety rated and only for general use.
