Datas to OPC through Serial to Ethernet converter

[Sebu 0]

Hi, I have a different SCADAs installed in a 5 PCs which has Serial port. I would like to get the data from all the SCADA to the OPC server which has been installed in another PC. If I use a serial to Ethernet converter what are the things I have to look upon. Does this serial to ethernet converter helps in getting data. I need your help in this regards Sebastian C

Is each Scada a I/O server (it collects data from production PLC)? If so, the OPC can get data from each respective Scada server. Does each plc have ethernet card in it not being used? You would need to network the Scada PCs to the OPC PC.
