RSLogix.acd file. For details about making the .acd file available to browse offline, see
RSLinx Enterprise Help.
In RSLinx Classic, you can use the Offline folder to browse tags in a PLC program stored
on disk. If the OPC topic in RSLinx Classic has access to symbols, you can browse for
them in the Offline folder. For details about adding symbols to the OPC topic in RSLinx
Classic, see RSLinx Classic Help.
