Aveva Plant Scada 2023 R2 read tag with symbolic address from GE 90-30 PLC using GETCP driver

Binini Germain Hangi

Hi everyone, I m working on a project that includes General electric plc and aveva plant scada . The versions are as follow:

Aveva Plant Scada 2023 R2 v8.50

General Electric PACSystems RX3i / CPU type IC695CPU310 / using Ethernet module IC695ETM001

Protocol is TCP using GETCP driver

I downloaded the GETCP driver since it was not included in the plant scada installation.

When I open the "Driver reference help" I can see the address format for reading various variable on the PLC(see attachedd image)

Since there is no mention of Symbolic addressing I doubt plant scada can read symbolic addresses from the GE plc. I have no means of testing this. In the meantime I just use the tagname /variable name  in the address colomn in plant scada . not sure if it will work.

 

Has anyone tried using symbolic address between Aveva plant scada and GE Fanuc PLC using the GETCP driver?

Thank you for your assistance

    I usually use the GE SRTP driver with System Platform and that supports symbolic addressing as long as you set the RX3i variable to External Read/Write but in lieu of that, I’ve also used the OPC UA Server built into the RX3i’s with great success thus far. It also comes with more options for encryption or whitelisting variables by memory areas (which means you could lock down memory areas from external read/write functions for extra security).

    I’d recommend going for OPC UA from the RX3i’s in this case.
