The preferred connector for communicating with the ControlLogix
processor is the Generic OPC connector, not the RSLinx
Connector. Beginning with RSLinx 2.20.00, RSLinx Classic
supports online browsing of the ControlLogix processor's memory
to select data points.
The following example explains configuration for both the Generic
OPC Connector and the RSLinx Connector.
Perform the following steps:
1. Using the Generic OPC Connector, define the following:
Item Description
Item String [topic]SystemTimeINT[0],L6 (where topic is the topic
defined in RSLinx pointing to the ControlLogix processor).
Datapoint Name Either type in a unique name or let the system name the
point for you automatically.
