Hello guys.
I'm quite new to to SCADA and HMIs, been around for only 1 year. Today i decided to upgrade a SCADA running Wincc 5.1 to version 6.0. The SCADA uses an Allen Bradley PKTX-1784 interface to communicate with one PLC. Also, it uses 2 RS-232 ports to communicate with some other PLCs. Before the upgrade everything worked fine(everything works fine before ), but after the upgrade I could not install Allen Bradley DH485 channel because it does not exist. The serial ports work fine. When i click to add a new driver, i don't see anything about Allen Bradley or something similar with the .chn extention, only S5/S7 and OPC, that's Siemens stuff only. What am i doing wrong? Am i missing something here? Is this channel an add-on for WinCC v6.0?
Thanks for the answers
