Control Logix OPC

[Conor 4]

Hi guys,

I need to read from an OPC server and was wondering if there is a card that I can fit into a Control Logix rack to do this? I seem to remember that Prosoft used to do cards like this but I think that they are discontinued now. 

Thanks, Conor

I have read up a bit more and have some questions.

Can you set up  a 1756-EN2T as an OPC Client? Could this be an option.

Or would there be a Red Lion product to achieve this? 

Or would the Prosoft EtherNet/IP to Modbus TCP/IP to OPC UA Server Gateway PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA be used either?

On investigation I have found that the OPC server I am trying to read from is OPC DA. I think that this may be an issue?
