Embarking on my first GE iFix project have a few general questions.
Per spec we must iFix 5.8 with historian for data logging.
Two 17" Touch Monitors
MODICON Quantum PLC. Unity Pro V11
Fanless computer with Win7pro 64 Embedded
The project is really small 10DI, 8DO, 32AI and 4AO. its a pilot to trouble shoot the larger process which apparently isn't working all that well. The customer wants the pilot to match the larger system as closely as possible control hardware wise.
I can handle the PLC part the iFix part is what I'm not sure about.
For configuration do use...
Node Type: SCADA?
Connectivity: Stand Alone?
Should I install iFix and historian together or separately? I've read somewhere its more desirable to install separately.
How do I setup the two monitors in iFix? Would it be one big monitor or container?
What driver should I use to connect to the PLC?
Any database setup tips & tricks?
Thanks,
Matt
