SLC505 - OPC level - Read Only PLC

[DGeiger03]

SLC 505s.
iFix 5.1

I need a system so that a coop student canwork on their computer to build a new iFix application, modify screens, and edit their tag database, while being able to READ only from a plant PLC

(via a opc server or something, with tag pass through).

Thus the student can run around on their laptop however they want ‎but there being NO RISK of them being able to write a value to a plc.

I answered in the other duplicate post on this.

Your right,

This time I specified the controller type to be a SLC 505

I also specified that it needs to be an OPC pass through of some sorts (if available)

It would ultimately be another driver that the student will use as a "safe environment"
