What I need to communicate a PLC with a Inverter in Ethernet network?

I want to find any parameters of inverter, for exemple I need to Know the current of output. The plc is in ethernet network and the inverters in the Mudbus RTU network, a gateway make connection Between the networks. The plc is Modicon Premium of Schneider and software is the Unity Pro XL.


How the plc can to see information of Inverter Altivar 31? How find the words of status in Inverter?What I need to communicate a PLC with a Inverter in Ethernet network?
You have to have some client software in your PC to be able to read the registers in the PLC software interface. I'm not familiar with that model, but many have the plc connected to a data collection node (usually some PC), and then you need client software on another PC to link and see the data on the PLC data collector. (data collector PC also would have same ';viewing'; software)


One common interface is OPC, and most vendors support that. However, again, it depends on what your PLC is talking to, and what software it supports. If your vendor supports OPC, the PLC would be talking to an OPC server on the PLC 's data collector, and your PC would then run a OPC client to view the raw data.
