Hello,
I am a student on my coop term. Right now working for a company who is using IFIX and TI 545 PLC. I have worked with PLC before (TRISTATION) and have a bit of knowledge about OPC and honeywell experion.
I am just trying to setup another PLC system with HMI.
I will be using 505 workshop to create logic and IFIX for graphics..
They have a ethernet connection setup for communication. I am just trying to figure out how the PLC tags are communicating with the IFIX. I dont see any 3rd party program like OPC server or anything. IS there some sort of 3rd party software.. ? hwo could i figure out..? the datalink in ifix showin some sort of like SCADA1.blabla.F_CV. The software (tristation) i used has an option of setting the tags to alaise and those can be read by OPC.. Any website or tutorial would be helpful
suggestion for where should i start..
was thinking of building a small ladder logic on PLC first then step into HMI i guess..
any help would be appriciated.. I really wanna get this thing started so i could build something useful for company. I wont get any chance soon to get hands on those hardwares
Thanks
