Ignition SCADA to SLC5/04 or PLC5
on Data Highway Plus network
This document provides information to configure Ignition HMI software running in a
computer connected via Ethernet Network with an ANC-100e or USB using a ANC-120e
to communicate with a SLC5/04 or PLC5 on a Data Highway Plus network.
Ignition software from Inductive Automation is a powerful industrial software platform
built for SCADA, MES and IIoT applications.

Note: Before proceeding, make sure
ANC-120e Driver is installed (Only if using ANC-120e)
Network Adapter is correctly configured to access ANC-120e or ANC-100e
ANC-120e is connected to the computer and DH+ network or ANC-100e is
connected to the same Ethernet network or directly to your computer, and to the
DH+ network.
For this example:
ANC-100e IP address = 192.168.0.230
SLC5/04 DH+ node = 03
Ignition Version 7.9.3

5. On the New Device page, leave all the default values and type in the following
fields:
Name: SLC (or the name you would like the device to have)
Hostname: type the IP address of the ANC-100e (default is 192.168.0.230)
Connection Path: 1,1,2,NN
Where NN is the node address of the target DH+ device
(03 for our example, so the resulting connection path is: 1,1,2,3
6. Click Create New Device

7. The Devices page is displayed showing the SLC device is added to Ignition.
The Status will show as Disconnected for a brief period of time and then
Connected
8. To test the connection, go to OPC Connections -> Quick Client

9. In the OPC Quick Client screen, browse the Devices folder to find your device.
You can expand it to see all the filenames and tags
10. To read a tag, use the [r] option to its left
11. If you can read the tags in your DH+ device, then you have successfully configured
your ANC-100e or ANC-120e and Ignition software to communicate with a
SLC5/04 or PLC5 on Data Highway Plus.
