You made it very easy for anybody to understand. Thank you so much sir

A Nice Job Buddy, Keep it up

Hi mate, Do we need to do any DCOM config ?

[@10mosman]

Great work

[@melesecrowley5141]

Thanks for the video. Can you tell me what we need on the AB PLC side? Do we need any kind of OPC DA driver or do we need a certain type of ethernet module.

[@johnkula5168]

Hi Melese, On the PLC side all you would need is the program and the IP address to be on the same subnet as the sever. The Kepware will do the rest.

thanks a lot John!

You are welcome Edgar. Hopefully it helps.

Hi, is there a way to sent some tag value with a server client to an url(external) and get comunication between both? note: it could be using a plc getting the data or as simulation of tags but sending the tag value to an api url

[@johnkula5168]

Hi Yes however you will need to establish a communication path first on both ends. My suggestion would be NodeJS. That’s actually coming in one of my videos in a near future.

I am getting a Driver not Started error. Is there a quick fix to this?

[@johnkula5168]

Hi Julian . At which point are you getting this error?

[@julianepps6123]

@@johnkula5168 I have a guardlogix 5380 controller. After I finish the set up and go to properties in the device and select create tags I get the error. I am using the Allen Bradley Controllogix Ethernet driver with model CompactLogix 5300 family selected

Hi I am getting error "Unable to generate a tag database for device" How can I resolve it

[@DSNCB919]

So if im writing back to plc thru kepware i need to make a seperate channel for writing

[@nayrbsworld3048]

Hi, i just notice a message in kepware event it says Modbus TCP starting unsolicited communication. What does it means

[@manfredinicostal9962]

Fantastic Video, thank you

[@libanabu6222]

Hey do you have video for Siemens S7 1200 cpu using Ethernet or micrologix 1000 using serial?

[@johnkula5168]

Hi Liban Abu. I do not at the moment but the difference between Siemens and Compact logix is that you would need to specify the absolute addressing in the Kepware. At this point I dont think that Kepware has the capability to auto populate tags for Siemens.
