OpcFieldpoint server With Other Vendors Hardware

[Software_Monkey]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the NI OPC Fieldpoint OPC server will work with other TCP Modbus hardware? I may need to attach some non-Nat Inst network modules to a network of Compact Fieldpoint devices.

If so, how do I configure the network?

For info, the other hardware is Wago 750 series

TIA

Hi Tony,

There are various KBs out there on accessing Modbus hardware. Firstly, you will need to obtain the OPC driver from your provider for your Wago network module. Check out these KBs for more information:
