Product Overview

The GE Ethernet driver works in conjunction with TOP Server® to provide data exchange between OPC UA, OPC DA, SuiteLink and DDE clients and GE PLCs via the GE SRTP Ethernet Protocol.

This driver supports direct integration with VersaPro, Logic Developer, and Proficy ME programming packages. By using the tag database export function, these drivers can directly interpret the tag configurations of your Ladder Logic application without additional work.

This driver also supports Symbolic Variables in PACSystems models RX3i and RX7i.

This driver is available in the following TOP Server driver suites: TOP Server GE Suite, TOP Server Manufacturing Suite.
