Hi,
Complete newbie, just trying to understand whether something is possible. Don't eat me.
I have a machine with a micrologix 1200 PLC controlled via a Red Lion G310 panel using RS232 serial over modbus. The G310 has an ethernet port.
The G310 is programmed using Crimson software. The plant wide ArchestrA SCADA is not currently networked to the G310 and operators can only adjust this machine's settings at the panel itself.
My understanding is that ArchestrA has an OPC UA client option and the ArchestrA IDE can be used to connect to an OPC server to get tag data.
My question is can OPCWorx be used to configure the G3 to operate as an OPC server and hence expose the G3's database for control via the ArchestrA SCADA?
Thanks heaps.
