Dear group,
I am trying to find an OPC Client that works with the ABB PLC. I use Visual Basic as the development platform. Does anyone have any recommendations? It doesn't have to be freeware. Any recommendations when Visual C is the development platform?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
An OPC client cannot directly communicate with ABB-PLC. For that you must have an OPC server for ABB-PLC. Check this link
For getting data from OPC Server in VB, you have different options:
# You can directly use VB automation wrapper supplied by OPC foundation (free) or check for DA automation wrapper at this link
# You use any OPC client Active X. Free as well as commerical solutions are available. Check this link
The most important is getting OPC server for ABB-PLC, and not the client. A OPC client will talk to any OPC server.
