Good morning,
I have an Anybus Communicator (ABC 3007-A) and am converting a modbus RTU serial connection to an ethernet/ip server and am trying to allow FactoryTalk to directly poll the data off the anybus server.
Is this possible? I can add the Anybus Communicator as a device but am unable to create a “shortcut” to directly communicate to the data server. After talking to a FactoryTalk rep they stated a controller needed to be in the network to poll the anybus, but I just want to confirm this with y’all.
I am still learning so if I confused you in describing the situation let me know, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
