Reading Data from Honeywell PLC to FT View SE

[Neidin]

Hi everyone, I have been tasked with the job of setting up FT View SE SCADA for a compact logix PLC. There are also a few points that need read by the SCADA from a Honeywell PLC. I have been supplied with Factory Talk Gateway to do this but am having trouble setting up a connection to the Honeywell PLC and don't see much info about on how to do this.

I have used the Gateway Configuration to connect to my SCADA application but thats as far as I can get.

Can anyone offer me some advice on how to go about this?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

What Honeywell PLC do you have? If it's a 620 system what modules do you have in the CPU rack?

It is a Honeywell HC900 C30

It is a Honeywell HC900 C30

Can't help you on that one except to say that it's modbus tcp communication you are looking at.

HC-900
You need access to the development software, (Hybrid) Control Designer, and it needs access to the controller CPU in order to get a listing of the slave Modbus addresses.

See my comments on HC-900 Modbus in this thread:
