RSLinx OPC Topic Configuration via Linx Gateway Driver (TCP-1)

[Graham_D]

Can someone point me to information on configuring an RSLinx OPC Topic when using the 'Remote Devices via Linx Gateway' driver. On the NI site, I can only find a tutorial for the DF-1 driver. I am not using Lookout.Some while ago I read the required information from the Rockwell Software forums but these have since been removed.

Hi Graham_D

This is all I can find on configuring RSLinx and communicating to it from either Lookout or LabVIEW.
The information can be found in this Tutorial.

Thanks James but it was specifically an Ethernet connection I'm needing to configure.

Hi Graham,

Is this more inline with your question What steps should I go through to troubleshoot the RSLinx Classic Ethernet driver?

Once you have followed this link please click on Drivers >> What steps should I go through to troubleshoot the RSLinx Classic Ethernet driver?

Anything further than this you would have to go to the Rockwell Automation Website to configure your Ethernet driver in RSWho.
Once you have the driver setup you should be able to continue in the Tutorial I linked to earlier from step 7.

Thanks James - it may not answer my specific problem but I shall certainly look more closely at Answer Stations  - until now I've just used the KnowledgeBase to answer queries.
