#194 - AVEVA How to use a Modbus TCP PLCSIM

- In AVEVA's OCMC it is possible to connect to a Modbus TCP PLC, which can be a real PLC or a simulated PLC

- In OCMC configure the Platform's Modicon - MBTCP driver and add the PLC network address, port number, register size, bit order format, etc. Note: It is important that the name is exactly the same that Suitelink uses, i.e. MBTCP. To know the exact name restart service and look in the log viewer the driver name.

- Start the PLC before activating the OI.MBTCP.1 service

- IO Addressing: <DIObjectName>.<DeviceGroupName>.<ItemName>, e.g. ProdPLC.Topic1.10001 = ProdPLC.Topic1.Mixer100.Level.PV (after lookup binding it is possible to link Mixer100.Level.PV with address 10001).

- To monitor the connection between the Galaxy and the System Platform's Driver: ProdPLC.ConnectionStatus

- To monitor the connection between PLC and the System Platform's Driver: ProdPLC.Topic1.$Sys$Status
