How to read tags from GE Quickpanel+ 755 series

[AK_14392170]

Hi ! Does anybody read tags from GE Quickpanel+ ?

Which drivers we should use ? GE Ethernet ? What model ? PAC Systems ?

We have downloaded runtime HMI project (Proficy Machine Edition 10) on GE Quickanel+ 755xxx. But we have no source project. We can read OPC tags from panel via Proficy View OPC server.  Used fromat is STATION IP\NameTag

Is it possible to read tags via Kepserver OPC ?

Hi  @AK_14392170 ,

You won’t be able to read tags from a GE QuickPanel+ using KEPServerEX. The QuickPanel+ doesn’t expose its internal tags over any open protocol that Kepware can connect to. Even though you can see the values through Proficy View (since the panel talks to its own OPC server), the HMI runtime does not act as an OPC, Ethernet/IP, or any other device-level server that Kepware can browse.

For Kepware to read the same data, it must connect directly to the PLC, not the QuickPanel+. Identify which controller the HMI is communicating with (PACSystems RX3i, RX7i, VersaMax, etc.) and use the corresponding Kepware driver (GE-Ethernet, SRTP, or EGD, depending on the PLC platform). The QuickPanel can’t be used as a gateway, Kepware must communicate directly with the PLC.

Thanks,

Thanx. We discovered that Quickpanel+ has its own protocol incompatible with standart OPC. We read tags directly from PLC.
