We have reference with A-B PLCs communicating with WinCC at Novelis (aluminum plant) in Brazil. You will need to have a OPC Server for ControlLogix to communicate with WinCC OPC Client (local or remote). As far I know, you have two options for this OPC Server: 1.RSLogix Professional Edition from Rockwell (RSLogix Lite Edition only works to communicate with Rockwell's softwares); 2.Ciberlogic OPC Server from Ciberlogic Software (www.ciberlogic.com), an alternative company that provides the same functionality. Hope it helps. |
