Proficy WebSpace has also proven to be an invaluable resource for monitoring our machines that are spread out in various physical locations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While at one point the Cimplicity platform supported direct connection to Rockwell PLCs that functionality has been left by the wayside and hasn't worked for a few generations of Rockwell PLCs. As a result OPC frameworks have to be used to establish that connection.
Cimplicity's ability to reconnect to a PLC after losing communication is also lacking. I generally have to resort to stopping and restarting the project to re-establish that connection unless I want to wait several minutes for the active project to re-establish on its own Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
