Can someone help me on how to setup and configure NI OPC server to OMRON CJ2H model PLC using FINS Ethernet?
I already search in the web for available documents on how to to do this but I haven't found any. There are documents available but using different PLC and communication protocol. The NI OPC server is installed in my laptop with Windows 8 OS and LabVIEW 2012 version. The PLC has an Ethernet module (ETN21) that is connected to my laptop using a crossover LAN cable (RJ45) and I was able to ping the PLC from my laptop with success. I tried to configure the OPC server based on the documents available in NI website. I added a channel, device and created a tag. By the way, my application will only read the data in the tag. Before I proceed in doing the code in LabVIEW, I wanted to see if the data is really written on the tag but I dont know how to do this. How to monitor the data of the tag in real time? Can someone please help me? Thank you.
