Using RSLinx Gateways
Chapter Objectives
This chapter provides information for configuring and using RSLinx gateways
from a client computer. After finishing this chapter, you will be able to perform
the following tasks:
•
Check your hardware installation.
•
Configure RSLinx for RSLinx Gateway Communications.
•
Enter information into the DriveTools32 application’s Communication
Setup dialog box.
•
Begin communicating with your drive.
Important: Your server must already be set up.
What is a
Gateway?
A gateway provides messaging through a server connected to a PLC-5. The
PLC-5 then acts as a gateway to drives on DH+, or the RIO network. The
following is an example of this type of configuration:
