Using Kepware with AB GuardLogix Controller: Compatibility with Older Versions Needed

Question:

I am attempting to retrieve data from an AB GuardLogix controller using Kepware at a distant site, but it appears that only version 6 is compatible with ControlLogix. Has anyone attempted this with an older controller? I am in need of guidance. Thank you.

Are you looking to use a GuardLogix controller? GuardLogix is essentially the same as ControlLogix, meeting SIL-x or PLDx standards. Kepware can easily connect with most Allen-Bradley PLCs for smooth interfacing.

Hello there! I successfully retrieved data from the Allen Bradley 1756-L71S GuardLogix 5570 safety controller with the help of your guidance. I made adjustments to my setup by using a ControlLogix controller and ensuring I used the correct syntax. Thanks to your advice, I am now able to seamlessly integrate data from Allen Bradley and Siemens systems for OPC usage.
