Wonderware License Activation

Hi, i would like to ask about the setup for wonderware scada and ewon, will i have a direct access for plc tags using ewon to be linked in my wonderware scada? or will i still require another platform to interpret my plc tags and be directed in my wonderware?
We need to figure this out asap as we are under the gun to get this working this week and have not done this before. Any examples that might help us would be greatly appreciated or any suggestions on how to handle the data the best most reliable way would be great as well.
What do I do to have the flexy handle the data and then have historian poll from the flexy? can I access tags from the flexy from the OIServer in Wonderware? Do you have an example of someone using wonderware historian/OI Server to pull data from the ewon flexy? this is our first time doing this and we are under the gun to get this working ASAP. thank you for any help you can provide.
What do I do to have the flexy handle the data and then have historian poll from the flexy?
As far as the Flexy, you would have to set up the Flexy to read the data from the connected PLC. Once that has been configured, you would then set up the other IO Server to communicate with the Flexy for Tag Data.
can I access tags from the flexy from the OIServer in Wonderware?
If the Flexy Tag information is there, and Wonderware has that capability. There should be a way for the Wonderware to get that information. However, I do not have any documentation or examples for the Wonderware software.
Do you have an example of someone using wonderware historian/OI Server to pull data from the ewon flexy?
I searched our forums, and available documentation. I have not been able to find specific examples or instructions for the task you are required.
So I have configured Wonderwares OPC gateway to expose my tags to their OPC server. I can brows the tags using a third party OPC browser. But I cannot browse the tags from the Ewon. Can the ewon browse tags from the wonderware OPC server? We dont want to rewrite our application to have to get the tags from the Ewon. We already have the tags being handle by the OIServer. Then we publish the data to the OPC server. On the ewon end we have the OPCUA not browsing the OPC server that we point it to it says OPCUA Server not ready?? Please help we need to get this working today. Is someon available for a phone call we are under the gun to get this working.
I would like to set up a phone session and remote in to view the setup you have. As of now, we are missing some information on how this setup is functioning and for what purpose. I am available Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm EST.
I'm working on my final year project at universty. Topic is SCADA systems based on wonderware Intouch and Schneider PLC and I need help :D. Could anyone tell me how can I manage recepies? For example, I have to make a recepie that put one component in tank, than mix it for some time, and after that add second component in tank, so my recepie must contain time pause between adding compnent1 and component2. I couldn't find anything on yt, Google, or user manual, so can anyone help please. Thank you.
and advice I will give is that on industrial automation topics just stick it to the manuals, on this world, everything is brand driven and even each brand has different versions of software for their products, even with its implementation of certain things and everything can communicate to everything using standard protocols (which is hardware dependent most of the time).
so, first, you need to know the devices you are using, and how to communicate them.
Wich PLC model, this PLC wich communication protocols have.?
On wich software is programmed? chances ara that there is a recipe option already built in.
And for the recipe, it's a simple thing pretty much just do a program and have values of "dosages" and "timers" the "RECIPE" is in fact that sequence of values and times you can make the recipes by itself stored on the memory of the PLC and SCADA only acces to those register and updates the values.
In my industrial automation course, the professor showed us the FESTO's didactic modular production systems, then threw us the manuals and says each team need to make one of those work
"Here are the manuals we will see again on the final test. by the way Half of the score will be that the systems work properly and after that you are going to leave the lab, then I will be messing around with the systems, unplugging things swapping wires, whatever I feel like to do, and you will need to troubleshoot".
