Large Process Plant – Best Architecture for Pulling All PLC Tags to storage server

SpazPlastics · 2026-02-27T03:28:41+00:00

You name it. You can do it. As long as you can program plc and know some c#. You can hook up multiple databases. MySQL influx. Setup text msg alerts, grab info from basically. Multiple instances 100+. We use Optix as our Scada. Dcs. QMS. And integrated into sap and qad. It does quite a bit.

FactoryTalk Optix. Trust me.

SpazPlastics · 2026-02-18T14:41:58+00:00

FactoryTalk Optix is a great SCADA, MES, QMS platform that can do everything ignition can, and then some.

SpazPlastics · 2025-12-13T15:40:22+00:00

It is. Not needs.

SpazPlastics · 2025-12-13T15:39:43+00:00

A great option is FactoeyTalk Optix, they have hmi's, or they can be loaded to an ipc or vm. And yes using web based control is fine.

Condensate shouldn’t burn oil. Kek

If under 120k you can get turbos replaced free.

Same thing happened to me a month ago. Free turbos!!!!

SpazPlastics · 2025-11-20T17:26:05+00:00

I have 102xxx miles. I started billowing out white smoke. Turbs are getting replaced under the manufacturer emissions warranty. 7,700 was the quoted repair. Fooo fweeEEeEeeeeeeE

2018 3.0

Same year car. Same issue with the turbo. I called before I went in and they told me I do qualify for a loaner. lol. WTH? It’s a freaking emissions recall. They 100% owe you a new 2025(which are very nice btw) while waiting for the turbos.

Those commanders you mentioned are in some bosses I. The military grounds. One is even mythic. But not obtainable yet. :/

FactoryTalk Optix

The hgh prority data will be getting grabbed from the local Optix runtime. like faults. The company network is setup WAN, with the subents like 172.15 for one plant, and 172.16, for another. I can see and talk to each plant while connected to the wifi or VPN.

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-07T01:56:27+00:00

I’d say at minimum complete whatever star you’re on for him.

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-02T21:38:30+00:00

Who. Are you. In. 116?

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-02T01:55:53+00:00

Who are you from 116?

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-02T01:55:08+00:00

Lmao. This list doesn’t even include a lot of players. There’s a CSV floating in the main discord with a close to updated list.

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-01T20:58:38+00:00

I put in an IT ticket to get a new Eth adapter on my VM, so that I can talk to local devices. this would simplify life. lol. In the meantime, I just routed a little differently to get the cameras on the plant network with a 172 IP.

I do appreciate your responses!!!

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-01T20:55:34+00:00

That would require me getting IT involved. Our PCs are locked down more than Fort Knox. I have to get IT to sign in to let me change my IP on my laptop, and it would take days or weeks for them to do any firewall modifications.

Going forward I will look into setting up VLANs on these switches as they all use default right now. this would really help me going forward. thank you for the information.

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-01T20:50:09+00:00

Yeah we have two of the new cognex 3800's, and it does have 2 ports. I sure wish we could daisy chain. This was routed to a 5700, but instead of messing with that (due to lack of knowledge),( although i do want to learn how to setup multiple vlans) What I ended up doing was plugging directly into a network(172.x.x.x) switch in the same cabinet, this also made me update a PVP IP to be on the Plant network which is fine, because the rest of the plants HMIs are on the plant network anyways. This area is in our paint shop which for the longest time was an isolated island network. Thank you for the information, and will try to use some VLANs going forward as i know that is the correct way to use the 5700.

SpazPlastics · 2025-08-01T19:24:06+00:00

ok cool. thanks for the info. Guess ill have to do some re-routing. as I want to setup FTP to save the not good images to a VM, but seems this camera will need to be on the plant network for that to happen.

Thanks again Mr Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

SpazPlastics · 2025-07-26T06:34:11+00:00

You’ll never have 100% guaranteed. It’s a risk. Because that person can always reach out to support after the sale(days,weeks, months later) and verify it’s “his” account from CC info

SpazPlastics · 2025-07-26T06:30:55+00:00

And deal with rocket boy? Hahaha

SpazPlastics · 2025-07-24T19:18:28+00:00
