Multiple CRIO's and shared variables - external PLC

[ThomasV]

Hi,

We have multiple cRIO's that communicate via shared variables (hundreds of them).

Now we have an external PLC that needs to access (read/write) some of those cRIO shared variables.

What would be the best way to go about this?

I've read this page, that tells me you can add an OPC Server add-on to the shared variable engine. This will install an OPC server that creates OPC tages that are linked to the shared variables.

IS this also feasible for cRIO? Would I need the DSC toolkit for all cRIO's that the PLC needs to communicate with?

Would there be a better way?
