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.
