Thank you but I have a question: What happens if you get your PLC offline? RSlinx goes always on as well as the Factory? It seems they are both running from cache. Is there a way that the Factory flags up the loss of connection once the PLS goes offline?
@@ShaneWelcher Ahh I see. Thank you. I am also working on a client application that needs to pull data from the RSLinx Classic OPC. How do we setup a subscription / publication service between the two? For example: 1. Part Serial scans by PLC 2. Print Command by PLC These reflect in RSLinx OPC. Wondering how to push that to the client app
@@VaibhavShankar-xo1kn This is not something that can be easily answered over text because it depends on what OPC connection you are using. Refer to Rockwell's knowledgebase
I am using RSLinx Classic Gateway. Is it possible to use DDE/Topic configuration with that? I am trying to run Machine Simulator with RSLinx Classic Gateway. Is it possible with OPC Test Client? Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the enlightenment. I have a question about my RSlogix.. I want to connect my Citect Scada 2018 to Rslogix5000 using RSLink Classic Gateway and I am using Rslogix Emulate 5000 as my PLC . Kindly enlighten me on the configure driver setting or if you have a tutorial would be highly appreciated. Thanks a million!
@@ShaneWelcher Thanks for your reply. Our OPC has been running quite well in the plant but I had not been involved setting it up during commissioning. So now I want to practice doing it with an emulator (RSlogix emulate 5000) with my rslinxclassic gateway to my citect scada. I'm confused which driver i will use when setting up drivers for opc in rslinx.. 😅. if i use ethernet, is the hostname my pc name? Also my rslinx keeps closing now if i click any drivers.. 🤔🙏
Hello Sir, I have RS Linx Classic Gateway, RS Logix 500 Pro, RS View32 for my AB Micrologix 1200, can I remote control this PLC using LabVIEW and its web publishing tool thru RS Linx OPC Server? Thank you very much

Once the PLC fails to connect to the OPC then it should show bad connection or bad data instead of real world values
Great video! Thank you! Do you know how to run the RSLinx Classic OPC as automatic service to run 24/7?
If you have a connection that request then I automatically connects. Meaning, an OPC topic through RSLinx running as a service

@@Sumee21051987 depends on the operating system you are using. Certain windows 10 and windows 11 OS systems have security that blocks DDE
What version is your Studio 5000?
Studio 5000 V32
Can you use RSlinx lite to connect to Machine simulator (easyPLC) … or it must be a non “lite” edition?
You need to use RSLinx Classic or Pro so you can use OPC topics.
Lite doesn't offer OPC topics
When you purchase software, does it come with rslinx classic? Or do you have to purchase that seperate
When you purchase Studio 5000 or RSlogix 5000 then yes.
@@ShaneWelcher ahh, I got the 500 micro. Probably still comes with classic lite then I'm sure. Thanks for the reply 👍🏻
@@shawnspencer8766 yes, the micro lite comes with RSlinx classic lite.
RSlinx lite doesn't allow OPC usages
@@ShaneWelcher actually I bought micro starter. Any luck with that one?
@@shawnspencer8766 if you have RSlinx lite then no OPC use.
You need the pro version of RSlinx
great dear sir
Keep watching

Have you tried OPC?
Setting up a topic then adding the tags.

@@nbw22depends if you are running it as a service or application
Check RSLinx control panel

Seems possible, you should try it
