How can I link wonderware INBATCH with CONCEPT?

I know general electric PLC software has blocks to interact easily with INBATCH, so I need to program a DFB using 984LL to link them, but i don´t know how.

thank you for your attention

regards

Look into Modicon's Event/Alarm Recording System loadable instruction (EARS). You'll find it in the 984 Ladder Logic User Guide. I do not know the details of the GE tool interfaced with Wonderware, but EARS is designed for "interlocking/exchanging" data sets between PLC and SCADA/HMI based on event conditions. Hope this helps.

It is not as simple as connecting a SCADA.
First, you have to have a Phase Logic Interface for each batch phase in your PLC.
This provides a standardised interface between the PLC and the InBatch procedures.
It imposes standard states and transitions on your PLC phase logic so if will affect the design of your PLC code.
Then you also have to map all the data for the PLI via OPC or whatever.

There is a company called ITTIA that offers solutions for people using InBatch, they are an excellent resource for gaining connectivity to the software and embedded database.
