IndustriConnect packages MCP servers for ten industrial protocols

One suite covers Modbus, OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, S7, BACnet, DNP3 and MQTT/Sparkplug, each with a mock device so you can test agent flows before touching a real PLC.

For controls: point an MCP client at the protocol you already run in the field, start with the mock, then flip to the live host when the prompts are safe.

lgx-mcp lets an AI agent propose online rung edits in Studio 5000

With a licensed copy of Logix Designer and its SDK, an agent can propose an online rung edit while you watch. By default it only proposes, and you decide when to test and assemble. The project says this is verified on FactoryTalk Logix Echo, not on a physical controller.

For controls engineers: have an agent propose a rung edit in Studio 5000, then test and assemble it yourself.
