Hello Archie ,

Would following configuration work ?

I had CompactLogix L32e PLC and  FactoryTalk SE 25 Screen SCADA connected with Ethernet/IP . Both working OK .
On same PC I tested AdvancedHMI on ethernet/IP driver to read/write tags with L32E , works OK (when SE SCADA was not installed yet).

Since customer has purchased only SE and no SQL or Vantage point , I was finding a way out . Every few seconds , I would read few tags from L32E into AdvancedHMI and then INSERT these into SQL table .
Since AdvnacedHMI and SE Scada would be Clients to same L32E , would it be a problem ?
With SE RT licence , RSLinx OPC is not provided else it would have been much easier .

Thanks ,
Shriram Pendse

Yes, RSLinx and AdvancedHMI can work concurrently on the same PC, so there should be no problem with SE and AdvancedHMI working simultaneously and communicating to the same PLC.
