OPC connection
Has anybody tried using an OPC connection to a 4201-DFNT-MCM? I don't have a ProLinx module yet, but want to make sure it can do what I want.
I want to use RSLinx to talk to the ProLinx, and have the data pulled into a Visual Basic program I am developing. The VB program will be reading and writing to the ProLinx module using RSLinx.

RE:OPC connection
Auto_man,
Yes, RSLinx OPC Server can be setup to work with the ProLinx DFNT driver.
1. Within RSLinx, add a driver "Remote Devices via Linx Gateway", and enter the IP for the ProLinx
2. Create a DDE Topic
3. In the Data Collection tab, choose Logix5000 as the processor type
4. You can now import a CSV file to generate your OPC tags
The CSV file format is as follows:
TYPE SCOPE NAME DESCRIPTION DATA TYPE
TAG int_data[0] INT
TAG int_data[1] INT
Please refer to the ProLinx DFNT Driver manual for available data types.
