Hello,
We have older PLC5/20 and PLC5/40 controllers currently communicating with Wonderware Intouch HMIs via the DH+ protocol. This connection relies on PCI PKTXD cards, whose obsolescence has led us to replace them.
For this modernization, we have chosen the AN-X4-AB/Ethernet gateway, which provides conversion between the DH+ and Ethernet/IP protocols. The gateway configuration via RSLinx Classic Lite and the creation of the DDE topic for Wonderware Intouch were successfully completed, and communication is working perfectly.
We now wish to develop a new HMI using WinCC Unified software, which includes a native driver for the Allen Bradley EtherNet/IP protocol.
The question is:
How do we configure communication in WinCC Unified to access data from the PLC5 controllers (on the DH+ network) via the AN-X4-AB/Ethernet gateway?
Could you guide us through this configuration?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
