I have a machine that uses QuickPanel+ from a 3rd party provider loaded with a runtime program in it that I can't modify.
So, I dont have the project files for the Proficy Machine Edition in the .swxcf format. From the QuickPanel+ I got some folders with bin files, text files, and some images from the application. Included in those files there is one called Tags.bin, but it isn't fully readable, just some words.
I want to access those tags with an OPC using an Ethernet cable to control a derivated process. Therefore the need of the tags.
I have an old application (made for the machine that im using) build in Labview 2012 32 bits, from which I only have the ejecutable file, it uses, I guess DataSocket function and gets connected to the opc:://localhost/View.OpcServer/<themachineip>, I tested it and it works, it does return a sensor indicator from the machine. And once again I dont have the source code diagrams. But somehow it proves that it can be done.
For the Labview application to work the old team used an installer with the description OPC Files for Proficy Machine Edition View and LD-PC, it installs the CimMEOPCAEServer.exe, the application name OPC A&E Server, from 2009, v6.0 (build 5005)
I tried to use the KEPServerEX 6, but I don't know precisely how it works, at the end it ask me for some tags.
I tried also to Upload the project from the controller to the PME software, but it returns an error. I even disabled the enchanced security in both the software and the machine.
I hope you could enlightme about how to get those tags, thank you in advance!
