Hello I am 4th year mech eng student and im doing my final year project on a Scada system. Im a newbie to wincc. So far i've set up a OPC server and this connects to WinCC over a LAN. Ive imported the tags , so far so good. Here's my questions The data on the tags is in a "raw" format so is there an easier way to get the diagnostics of the PLC rather than using C script in graphics designer? As i'm using an OPC server does this just limit me in gettting Diagnostics of the slave or can i get more information on what the process is doing? Hope this makes sense! Shane
