Summary:
 Which driver to use in CitectSCADA to communicate with GE Fanuc PAC Rx7i Controller? 

Solution:
The GE Rx7i controllers support the SRTP Channel commands which are utilised by our GETCP driver. So you can use the CitectSCADA GETCP driver to communicate with this controller, however these SRTP Channel commands do NOT have a way to access tags that are configured with symbolic addressing so you will not be able to use the Symbolic addressing.

If you like still like to use the Symbolic addressing you can try commnicating with PLC through an OPC Server and use CitectSCADA OPC driver to talk to this OPC Server. There are some available from Kepware that they claim supports the symbolic addressing of the Rx3i : http://www.kepware.com/Spec_Sheets/GE_Ethernet.html
