Using FactoryTalk and Kepware to drive a PLC contact 
  | Posted by Northern Controller  on 14 August, 2012 - 4:43 pm |
Hello,
I am fairly new to the field and am looking for a hand.
I have two tags in my Kepserver both monitoring PLC contacts. I have been trying to use the FactoryTalk even log to input a logic statement that will force on one of the contacts if the other is turned on.
To add to the problem that I am having both PLC's are on different subnets and I believe this may be my underlying issue.
Is there anywhere where a gateway needs to be declaired within FactoryTalk when writing an eventlog???
I am at the point where I am able to force on the contacts on Proworx and I am getting the one bit on the kepware but both bits are being controlled from different subnets as I said.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you think I am going about this entirely the wrong way please feel free to rip me a new one.
Thanks!!
