RSLinx Classic Software

OPC Server Setup

You can set up RSLinx software as an OPC Server to serve data from a power

monitor to an OPC 2.0 compliant application. You must first set up an RSLinx

driver to communicate to the power monitor. You can then create an OPC topic

to serve data to your SCADA application.

Set Up OPC Topic

Follow these steps to set up a DDE/OPC topic in RSLinx software for the power

monitor.

1. Open RSLinx software.
2. From the DDE/OPC menu, choose Topic Configuration.

IMPORTANT

The power monitor makes a connection to either the RSLinx

Ethernet Devices driver or the Ethernet/IP driver on a single

computer but not both simultaneously.
