I could establish a connection with RSLinx Classic, but I couldn’t actually get any of the tags to show data. SoftLogix isn’t going to work for me, because I want to use v31 and SoftLogix will not support v31. I found some threads that said to use SoftLogix, because then the Logix driver would work, and some threads said they have had some success using RSLinx Classic.

Of course, I turned to Google and YouTube to find a solution. You can’t just add a device and expect it to work. First of all, Studio5000 Emulate does not allow Ethernet IP communications and Ignition does not have a driver that works with Emulate.

You would think that setting this up would be pretty straight forward, spoiler alert, it is not. However, I don’t have a PAC on hand, but I could use the most recent emulator from Rockwell Automation. I recently wanted to create an Ignition SCADA to work with Allen Bradley’s ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controller (PAC).
