Hello Chaps,
Has anyone come across Elau Motion controllers communicating to a Wonderware SCADA via the Siemens L1Direct protocol?
We have a machine that has this setup, with a PC running Windoze 3.11! By all accounts, we have not been able to find an alternative to the L1Direct driver that will run on a Win2000 as yet.
There are rumours that the siemens AS511 protocol may also work, so am exploring this option with Kepware & Software Toolbox (who by the way have identical application environments!).
Another point that has been raised, is that the L1Direct driver was bery timing specific & may not run on modern PC's, due to the clock speeds or something similar.
What we need to know, is if there are alternatives available that would allow us to read/write to/from the Elau Motion controller from a Win2000 PC.
