I have DNP3 devices that push unsolicited updates to an OPC server. I have a CompactLogix PLC that needs to consume that information.
Do OPC servers have the ability to make the DNP3 information available to the PLC or do I need a SCADA system to shuffle that info between the two?
Are there OPC servers out there that allow me to synchronize tags between the ones that are updated by the DNP3 devices and the tags consumed by the CompactLogix?
Or do I point the DNP3 devices to simply update the same tags that the CompactLogix is consuming?
I feel this is a common scenario so anybody with experience with this concept would be greatly appreciated by me and perhaps other people as well.
Feel free to share the specifics on how you did it or how you would do it. Also, any pitfalls or cautionary tales as well.
