CompactLogix PLC with FTalk View ME to Grafana

[hafizzz_ahmad]

Hi everyone, i have a compact logic 1769-L18 PLC and I'm using FTalk View ME for the display.
I wanted to do some visualization on Grafana.

At first I was thinking to use MySQL, but ME does not support MySQL.
So no option there.

Then I'm thinking to send data from the PLC through OPC-UA, then store the data to InfluxDB then Grafana reads the data from InfluxDB and displays it.
Unfortunately, 1769-L18 does not support OPC server.

Any idea how can i do this?

Being that you have grafana sitting on a machine somewhere, you could use pylogix to get the data out of your PLC and into a database, if you are into python.

For anyone that might find this thread in future, I have managed to send the data and displayed it on Grafana.

The way I did this is:
Compactlogix->Node-Red->InfluxDB-> Grafana
