[Fitipalek]

Hi,

how to set up communication between SCADA Citect 7.5 SP1 Patch 38[5] and OMRON PLC CP1L with CP1W-CIF41.

Where to download required driver ?

Do i need CX-One ?

Thanks

My Omron-HMI experience is limited to InTouch and CS1, CJ2 PLCs.  Perhaps Citect and InTouch share some code (like I/O servers) under the Aveva umbrella.

In the old days I used FinsGateway and DASOMFINS which were part of the Wonderware I/O server suite of drivers.  The current version is part of the newer OI suite of drivers called OI-OMRONFINS.

Not being a big user of FINS, I found it quite frustrating to setup.

Hello @Fitipalek 

Without being too expert in OMRON material, the CP1W-CIF41 device communicates using the FINS protocol. You can download the drivers from the AVEVA website, or from the installation CD for your version of Citect. If you cannot download it, contact your local technical support and ask for it.

Please note that this version of Citect is no longer available for sale or support. And the driver you can download may be for newer OS.

Good luck!
