The ABTCP driver can be used to communicate with Allen-Bradley I/O devices via Data Highway Plus, using the KT, KTX, KTXD, PKTX cards, or the 5136-SD-PCI board from SS Technologies.
Windows detects the hardware and assigns it an address. Plant SCADA retrieves the configuration details from Windows and, at run-time, downloads appropriate interface firmware to the board, enabling communication. No additional software is required.
You can use this method to communicate with the following devices:
When you first start up your computer after installing the 5136-SD-PCI board, a message may display indicating that new hardware has been detected. It is not necessary to install the board using Add New Hardware in the Windows Control Panel, since Plant SCADA detects the Windows configuration. If the card has been previously installed through Control Panel, you will need to uninstall it. Plant SCADA supports the installation and use of only one 5136-SD-PCI board in a computer at a time.
