ChessMaster Posts: 84 Rating: (1)	Hi We had the same problem but not ABB plc we had Toshiba PLC and we connected it to the WINCC via OPC server. Take a look ate the Kepware site and search for Top server, These are to OPC server that they support many PLC. This software is King of OPC server. You should download demo version of it, the difference between demo version and full version is in demo version after 2 hours it will be disconnected and you must start over OPC again. I found some help file to connect WINCC to Topserver. I check my Topserver it contains all type of ABB PLCs. You know if you use OPC server maybe the connection with PLC be slow as we encounter the problem but we solved it. So if you try to use OPC and i am ready to help you. Good Luck

Which OPC Server would you recommend for smooth and cost effective communication ? Also what settings would be required on the ABB side ? Thanks Navnag
