Re: EPICS Record to SCADA data exchange

[Ralph Lange <ralph.lange@gmx.de>]

Hi Vishnu,

Wonderware/InTouch is mostly a client to hundreds of field buses and automation protocols, and while it should be possible, I don't think that adding Channel Access to their protocols is in their business interest.

However, according to their web site [1], InTouch has an embedded OPC (Classic) server.

Which means you should be able to push data into InTouch using the OPC (Classic) device support by HZB/BESSY [2].

Other that that, I don't see many options.

Cheers,
~Ralph

Hi,
   Is anyone using EPICS to SCADA interface for data exchange?
In my application i am reading GPIB instrument data using stream device support. I also need to display some of records data to Wonderware SCADA.
I think it can be possible with TCP/IP communication but as i am read GPIB data with Stream device. I don't know how the record data can be pushed to TCP/IP or some related interface.

Thanks
Vishnu
