    GE OC6000e and GE RX3i Communication

    It would depend first on the communications protocol your equipment uses. I believe at this point all Ethernet RX3i CPUs speak native Modbus TCP and EGD.

    Reading a Power Meter Using RX3i Master DNP3

    I need to read a power meter via DNP3 from a GE PACSystems RX3i. I'm using the CMM004 serial communications module to do so. I'm stuck right now because I need to read counters (DNP3's Object 20), but I don't know which function to select from the options the module gives. I don't know if...

    Cimplicity .gef problem

    These files are created automatically by Cimplicity when you run the project. Backup your project just in case, and try emptying the Lock folder before running the project. Hope this helps.

    Toolbox EGD Configuration and OPC

    Hello, I'm currently trying to find an OPC solution to the EGD protocol and made some tests with the Matrikon server. They offer two solutions that can be used for communicating with MKVI. There's one MKVI communication suite that (as I understood from a Matrikon employee directly) can...

    EGD OPC Server with Signature Implemented

    There is a network of controllers (MarkVI, PAC's and 90-70 controllers) managed with an EGD configuration server, where signature of each exchange is evaluated by the controllers to verify if they are valid to consume. I need an OPC to communicate with this network and the driver should be...

    Using Toolbox SDB Client API

    Well I just solved it for the moment, it asks for various dll's located in the SDB Server installation folder, just copied them directly to the release/debug folder where the .exe is generated and it worked... I'll do some testing and try to develop the functionality I mentioned above.

    Using Toolbox SDB Client API

    There's an SDB server running in a workstation, and communication to a DCS wants to be added, this through an existing OPC server with an EGD driver. What I want to do is to read the SDB so I can automate the OPC tag list in accordance with the actual database information. Right now I'm...

    GE EGD Configuration Server vs System Database (SDB)

    So, this means that on the new pure MarkVIe systems there is no more SDB? And, that you mention about holding Alarm Symbols, does this substitute the TCI module of Toolbox Classic? or is this a completely different function?

    GE EGD Configuration Server vs System Database (SDB)

    Could someone help me understand the difference between the EGD Configuration Server and the System Database that GE uses in the ControlST, Toolbox, and other automation software suites. As far as I know, both can store information about EGD exchanges and devices configuration and have seen...

    OPC Tunneling Inter vendors

    Thanks Fred, that was helpful. One more question here, do you know if there's any advantage between the MatrikonOPC Tunneling approach over KEPWare's or vice versa?

    OPC Tunneling Inter vendors

    I have a PI historian server with MatrikonOPC Tunneler installed; I want to know if this is compatible with Kepware's Tunneling technology which I know uses OPC UA standard to suppress the DCOM configuring issues. Does Matrikon do something similar? Are these two compatible? Thanks!
