In RSLinx Classic software, a topic represents a specific path to a controller. RSLogix 5000 software,
revision 10.0 or later, automatically creates an RSLinx topic whenever you:
• create a project.
• save a project.
• change the revision of a project to 10.0 or later.
In some cases, you have to update the data source for the topic in RSLinx software.
Set Up a Topic
1. Use RSLogix 5000 software to create the topic.
a. Set the project path (communication route to the controller).
b. Save the project.
2. In RSLinx Classic software, check the topic.
a. From the DDE/OPC menu, choose Topic Configuration.
b. Select your project.
c. Make sure the data source points to your controller.
