Hello, My name is Mihai Demian, I am from Romania and I own an automation firm (with no activity yet, unfortunately). Looking for ways to make a plc communicate with a pc, I came across plc4x. I have an old laptop at home, running as a small home server (the best I could, I am very new to Linux world), and I downloaded and installed (with ./mvnw install). It took me a while, the distribution had some bugs in it with missing licences in header (<!-- #licence -- >) and then some wrong references, but I cannot remember the files. I managed >to correct the issues and install it. I also have 2 plcs Siemens S7-1200 connected on the same network as the server. From my understanding of OPC Server, the server takes care about the communication with the plc and the client (user's computer) connects to the server and reads and writes data from/to the plc. At my current employer, OPC Server and a custom app developed in-house is the default way of doing things. Can you help me figuring out how to make them "talk" to each other? I want to be able to offer this option to companies.
Thank you very much. -- Cu stima, / Best regards, Mihai Demian Administrator & PLC Programmer Easy Engineering and Automation SRL[1] -------- [1] https://easyea.ro
