New to iFix and to the IGS driver.
Environment:
iFix V5.1
MODICON M340 Unity-pro V11. Memory set to Mixed Topological and State RAM.
MODBUS TCP/IP Ethernet

Looking for opinions on which driver I should use. IGS or MBE.
Its a small project probably less than 100tags.
So far with the IGS I like that I can turn the "zero based addressing" off.
I like that with the MBE I can setup blocks to maximize network traffic but I think the IGS will do this? Other than that I don't really see a distinct advantage between the two.

Thanks
 
I had previously looked through there but couldn't really find anything that compared the two. I think I'm just going to use the MBE.

Thanks
