HexMan Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Hello everyone, thank you for your interest. I have a plant operating perfectly with a V700, but now the client is asking me if I can represent the HMI (many of its variables) in a SCADA system. I would like to know if you have experience integrating V700 with a new SCADA system and what are the most advisable SCADA options. Thank you very much.

MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted September 26, 2023 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Absolutely. I've done this dozens of times. Simply modify the PLC program to be a MODBUS TCP slave on port 502 (or the port of choice), set up the other Ethernet parameters needed for comms, and have the SCADA administrator connect to the PLC over Ethernet. Provide the SCADA system with the addressing for anything desired to be displayed and you're done. Easy peasy. There are example projects that came with your VisiLogic installation that show how to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMan Posted September 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 I am clear, but what are the alternatives to develop a SCADA according to your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted September 26, 2023 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 Clarify your question - are you asking what kind of PC-baded SCADA software packages we recommend or for a SCADA-like dedicated HMI product that will emulate the Unitronics screen?

HexMan Posted September 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 I'm sorry if I haven't asked correctly. I am looking for a SCADA software to work with a V700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted September 26, 2023 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 All you need is a Modbus TCP driver. I am 99% sure that all SCADA packages have this driver available, as Modbus is one of the oldest industrial protocols. We use InduSoft Web Studio, now called AVEVA Edge. Many people in the US use Ignition. I don't know what's popular in your part of the world, but I would just ask around. Joe T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Castro Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 whatever SCADA software you want.... the more appropriated question is what SCADA software your client can afford? If your client only needs visualization, it may not need to be necessarily a SCADA software. I implemented a visualization system using this stack: Grafana, Influx DB, Telegraf to monitor an entire facility. Everything open sourced.
