PLC IP Address/OPC
Posted: 19 Jul 2018, 21:24
I'm very new to PLCs and therefore, OPC. I have a Microogix 1000 (Allen Bradley) PLC, which I'd like to connect to an OPC server (KepserverEX) running on my computer.
To connect to the PLC, it obviously needs an IP address assigned.
Do I need to run a DHCP/BOOTP sofware on my PC? Do I need an Ethernet switch in between the PLC and the PC, or a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the PLC to the computer?
