    In a GE PLC one would use a Positive transition coil for the first (UpArrow) and a Negatve transition coil for the second (DownArrow), both would in turn activate the %S5(?IIRC) which transitions ON for 1/2 second then OFF for 1/2 second. Other brands will vary.

    I would recommend www.kepware.com Their stand alone OPC Driver is in part what many PLC/PAC/HMI manufactures use today as their embedded OPC driver, including GEIP. If you already have all the needed data in Historian you may be able to use SQL to transfer it to the Fabguard controller.

    If you would give us pertinent details we may be able to help. "Turning red" means little if we don't know what software is turning it red and where in the software. Kepware has very good online assistance, diagnostics and telephone support. If the "Red" is in the hardware configuration of PME, it means that the address(es) chosen is either invalid or already used somewhere else. EGD is very simple but it must have proper data lengths entered for the consumed and produced, double check that one is not set too high or too low for what is actually being sent.

    IIRC, In some of those older systems the "Device ID" was set for the PLC instead of the port. To do this on the older ones you needed to assign the Device ID to the port on the power supply. This is done in the hardware configuration of the CPU. Confusing isn't it? Also inconvenient (imposable) when one needed two Device IDs. :) Try it, that should work. P.S. If you had asked that right away, you would be done already. ;)

    I am sure that someone can help. What is the question? Which OPC server are you using and what port is it connected to also is it RS-485 or RS-232? What cable are you using? There are several ports and cables to choose from with those two devices. You can find some of the pin configurations here: http://forums.ge-ip....60395#post60395

    Yes, provided that your data-logging OPC software speaks SNP, it is just another serial protocol. Be aware that there is SNP and SNPx, similar but not exactly the same, you need the same at both ends as in any other serial parameter. Get the documentation relevant to your hardware and OPC software and compare the two. Hardware documentation is here: http://support.ge-ip.com/

    Only if it was exported as a .prj file on the 1st laptop. IIRC, by default it would be in the "Quick\Data" folder. With version 3.70 CD you can re-install to get 4 days to work with it until you need to "authorize" it, but don't over write your only copy of that app. Also the license can be transferred from 2nd back to 1st.

    Two of these magnets 1500 Newtons (337.2 lbs) each will hold any but the very largest. 24 VDC at 7 Watts each. http://www.jokabsafetyna.com/2012-04-03-17-39-40/2012-04-03-13-36-23/magne-1-2-magnetic-lock-with-indication?highlight=WyJtYWduZXRpYyIsImxvY2siLCJtYWduZXRpYyBsb2NrIl0=
