RELATED IDEAS

Make a connection to a PLC without starting Citect

Often connecting to a PLC can be painful. Any change needs to be compiled, Citect restarted, and then you can test the connection. It would be very handy to have a tool in the Citect Studio that lets you play with parameters, IP addresses, a variable tag address etc, and perform a simple connection test.

The tool should let you save the parameters so they can be used in the Communication Forms in a project after.

Idea business value

There are many many integrators, customers etc who regularly find connecting to a PLC so difficult that they end up calling tech support to find out where they're going wrong. This would make Citect much easier to use. It would save a lot of time if we can make establishing connections to PLCs easier.

    One of the biggest headaches in CitectSCADA is the PLC connection, and difficulty in determining what is wrong. Other vendor packages are somewhat easier with the IO Server being a separate application that can provide more detail in a simpler format. IE RSLinx (but this has its own issues.. :))
