Datamap Tests

3 posts in this topic

Hi All,

Bit of a noob here. I started a new project where the client is upgrading their SCADA system, and as such every discrete needs to be toggled, and every analog range needs to be tested.

I've created an excel database with every register, however, changing the value in the tag is too manual for me and I'm trying to find a way to increase the automation.

I am looking for a solution where I can write directly with the tags instead of fumbling through the horror which is Proficy. I've seen some mentions of using the trial version of Ignition but I am struggling to get that to a useable state. 

 

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

You mention that it is GE SCADA  but is it GE plc or some other?  If the PLC can be "forced" by having excel write to it you can use an excel macro to automate things.

It is GE PLC. The excel route is what I was hoping for, but I'm new to using GE plcs and can't seem to find any information on how to setup excel to force the registers.
