We are upgrading a Wonderware Intouch 7.0 SCADA system to Intouch 2014 R2.
The current system runs on NT4 and uses wonderwares AB1748KT IO driver with a PCI KT card to talk to a PLC5/30 and a SLC500.
We need to find a replacement for the KT card for DH+ coms and a new IO driver/server. The new machine is an IPC running Windows 7 Untimate 32bit and has already been purchased but has no PCI or even PCIe so we limited to either USB or Ethernet.
I was considering using ABs 1784-U2DHP USB to Data Highway Plus Interface with kepserver but looking more into this its DF1 to DH+ and we are worried about bottle necks in the com's and update speeds.
So I'm now looking at Ethernet to DH+ bridges.
Has any one used the following product EQ7000 and have any comments.
