We can advise in general how to implement it. It is designed so an authorized user of the system can 'configure' the safe charts without using RSLogix5000. We cannot share the code as it is intertwined with a lot of other activities that are being supported. The logic execution is event based, so it does not 'tax' the scan time of the PLC. For each 'row' of the SIS system's safe chart the triggers are configurable as are the outputs for a column. The input 'triggers' could be any quantity of DIs, internal PLC bits or other 'events'. The outputs can also be of unlimited quantity & a mix of PIDs, DOs, valves, pumps & a lot of other things. The Microsoft HMI helps 'configure' the 'triggers' as inputs & the Shutdown effected output devices, as well as 'n' & 'm' values.
Off course n & m have to be reasonable value. As part of the cause & effect or SAFE charts for a safety shutdown system (which is a small part of the whole system) it handles n out of m voting. We have a very large Logix 5000 infrastructure created that makes the PLC work as a very large 'configurable' DCS. We have a n-out of m Matrix Voting in place.

Citect being a very proprietary software & not a Microsoft product running in Microsoft Windows may not be capable of doing this. I have used Citect & was disappointed by the limitations & high licensing costs. I have done start/stop toggling via one button. have done similar activity using Microsoft Visual Studio easily with Twido. The terminal support is natively built-in & very inexpensive. You will have so much power & flexibility. Good would advise using Microsoft products for HMI, instead of the 3rd party products. net solution, get it from our web site If you have questions, contact me. Both solutions will use another layer of hardware. You can also use another Ethernet module in one of the 2 PLCs. net class or a really inexpensive activeX for clogix that you can use to exchange any kind of data between the 2 PLCs. Will be glad to help can use a PC running windows (if one is available). You must use ver 17 or newer & a newer than ENBT module. Using an external box adds a layer, a dependency & processing delays. You may consider doing this in contrologix directly.

I have been on the receiving end of home rolled SCADA systems before using similar technology, they are incredibly difficult to support and upgrade and are generally a bad idea, I for one would not entertain one on a site I was ever looking after.Īnd to the OP, API is Application Programming Interface, it defines a set of instructions and routines which can be used to allow direct access to the application rather than using OPC or other connectors. I have no idea why you keep telling people that MS VB is a decent alternative to a SCADA platform, it isn't, it doesn't offer the correct drivers, offers no redundancy and its development would be very intensive. API stands for Application Programmer's Interface.
I agree with tragically1969 that APIs will work much better than OPC. Citect has some poor man's support for MS SQL Server. Also you will be using most current Microsoft technology instead of old technology used in the non Microsoft scada systems. If you were using Microsft Scada system, MS SQL is very tightly & natively integrated. It is free product & works very well for email notifications. I prefer to do this functionality using MS SQL Server Express.
