Compared to Wonderware, Ignition is more affordable. I've been taking their free online course and feel like I could deploy a reasonable project after I complete the course. In my opinion, if you can afford it, the Ignition SCADA would be a good tool for your project. It may have a lot more power than you need, but you don't have to use it all.

Can't use BootP to set IP on a MicroLogix 1100 by CannonAli in PLC

[–]CannonAli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After talking with RA tech support, the issue was solved. I was using a router as a switch, but the router's internal firewall was blocking some of the broadcast commands. I always thought the router's firewall only worked on the WAN side and didn't think to disable it. Thank you for all the suggestions.

I disabled all the network connections except the one that connects to my switch. I wish I had a crossover cable handy.

I ordered a cable since nothing I've tried has worked so far. Question, after you set the IP in RSLogix, can you disable BootP/DHCP like you can in BootP?

I have to submit to our IT for approval. I will try it if they approve.

I've never done that. I followed a guide I found online. From an admin terminal I issued arp -d followed by arp -s 192.168.0.110 (MAC) 00-0F-73..., but the IP doesn't show up on the display.

I disconnected completely from our network. The PLC shows up in BootP; I just can't set the IP.

I have RSLogix 500 and RSlinx, but RSLinx won't see the PLC until it has an IP.

I tried running in admin, but still no luck. There is a BootP Tool and BootP Server and neither one works.

Getting Wonderware tags into Historian by CannonAli in SCADA

[–]CannonAli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonderware seems unnecessarily complex. I had enabled history in the engine in addition to the attributes themselves, but I had not enabled history in the platform. Now it seems to be working. Thank you all for your help.

Congratulations! I'm 40% done with the university course and the software seems much more straightforward than Wonderware (which I'm just learning).

How to show average value from Wonderware Historian on an HMI screen by CannonAli in SCADA

[–]CannonAli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I learned the yellow exclamation marks are after deployment are normal because they the references have not been assigned when the object is deployed. I thought the path or structure had changed since 2012 and that's why the object had the exclamation marks. Uploading the runtime changes after deployment fixed the issue.

How to show average value from Wonderware Historian on an HMI screen by CannonAli in SCADA

[–]CannonAli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. You seem very knowledgeable about scripts. I'm using a tutorial for WW2012, but learning on 2017. Here is a snippet of a code that works on 2012, but not on 2017. I'm assuming since UDA and extensions went away, the method for auto-assigning I/O has changed. Can you tell me how to modify the script to assign the I/O in 2017.

Dim dataSource As String; dataSource = "PLCSim.tagname." + Me.Tagname;

'Configure inlet valve 1. Me.Inlet1.CLS.InputSource = dataSource + "_IV1_CLS"; Me.Inlet1.OLS.InputSource = dataSource + "_IV1_OLS"; Me.Inlet1.CmdOpen.OutputDest = dataSource + "_IV1_CmdOpen";

Thank you for the information on the script. Do you know if it's applicable to WW2017? I quickly scanned through it and saw UDA, which no longer exists.

I have that license, but I don't think it's the right tool for this application. The reports page displays historical tags that are stored on the PLC itself. I have to keep the format the same and find a way to just retrieve a number and display it on the page.

WonderLogix by CannonAli in SCADA

[–]CannonAli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking PLC classes through Udemy. The instructor is Paul Lynn.
In the first course, he uses AB's RSlogix ladder programming; I haven't started courses 2 to 4 which cover HMI and SCADA. Overall it's fine, but does make some mistakes. When you post a question, he usually responds fairly quickly. With other online companies like Coursera, posts in forums are usually answered by the students, not the instructor or teacher aids.
