HI
How do I address WinCC tags to I/O variables on Allen Bradley ControlLogix 5500 using Ethernet/IP for the migration project from FactoryTalk to WinCC (Siemens)?
Additionally, how do I write tag addresses to function tags?

Re: [?]: Allen Bradley ControlLogix TO WINCC
Hello,
it is difficult to understand, what you want. Perhaps you want replace the Factory Talk Visu with a WinCC Visu and show all the tags of the Rockwell Control on the WinCC-Visu?
If yes this is not so easy. I make a project with 7 Rockwell PLCs and show all the tags on the WinCC - Visu. It is possible with OPC - but I have no experience how to work.
We take a separate PLC and a PC with WinCCflex as a datacollector. The WinCCFlex can handle Rockwell and Step7 tags - we wrote scripts to transfer the Rockwell tags to the Step7 tags
and thats it. The transfer is very slow - because we transfer 6000 tags from Rockwell to Step7.
This other way is perhaps an OPC-Server.
Hope this helps.
