Today, let’s talk about how to interface the EG edge gateway with AB PLC via PCCC protocol.
The article we discussed before:
How to integration EG edge computing gateway with General Electric PLC
How to integration with Xinjie PLC via Modbus RTU protocol
How to interface with Keyence KV-8000 series PLCs via the MC-3E protocol
How to interface with Keyence KV-7500 series PLCs via the KV TCP protocol

How to interface with Inovance PLC via Modbus RTU protocol
1. Подключение оборудования
Compatible PLC: AB SLC 5/05
The PCCC protocol utilizes Ethernet communication. Therefore, simply ensure the gateway’s LAN port and the AB PLC’s IP address are within the same subnet.
2. Параметры связи с ПЛК
2.1. Ethernet Parameter Settings

3. Gateway Settings
3.1. Настройки подключения ПЛК
Drag an AllenBradley node from the left panel, double-click to open the settings page, and configure as follows based on the PLC’s network port parameters:
Протокол: Select PCCC
Адрес: Введите адрес ПЛК (например, 192.168.0.59).
Порт: Enter the PLC connection port (e.g., 44818)
Таймаут соединения: 2000
Таймаут связи: 2000
3.2. Конфигурация точки данных
Enter the data points to be read into the parameter list of the Allen-Bradley node. Once configured, the PLC data will be automatically retrieved at the specified frequency.
Точки данных обычно предоставляются инженерами ПЛК. Получив список точек, заполните их в соответствии с требуемым форматом шлюза. Для получения подробной информации об отображении см:

This example reads data from address F8:1. In the parameter list, enter the address/name/data type/data length sequentially. The data is read cyclically every 2 seconds, as shown in the figure:
3.3. Testing
Connect to the debugging node, click Deploy, and observe that a data point is printed every 2 seconds. The read data point result is:
{F8:1:42669}. Communication successful!
