Industrial Automation OPC Server Driver for PACSystem RX7i

I have a GE Fanuc PLC - PACSystem RX7i. The Industrial Automation OPC Server 5.1 does not have the driver for this PLC. How can I add this driver to my existing OPC server or should the OPC server be upgraded which contains this PLC driver ?
 
Thanks !

The IA OPC Server is a package of a lot of OPC Servers. If none supports your PLC, you have to use other OPC Server. You cannot add one to IA OPC Server. It can't be upgraded.
NI recently released DSC 8.5 module for LabVIEW. In this module, there is a new OPC server called "NI OPC Server". Here is the list of all the PLCs it supports. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6417
It seems that your PLC is supported. But this NI OPC Server can only work with DSC 8.5.
Contact your local NI people for more information.
 
Another choice is to use a 3rd party opc server.
