to connect to Allen–Bradley and SoftLogix 5 devices, specify
the physical memory location in the programmable controller.
The address syntax depends on the programmable controller.
For addressing syntax, see Appendix D, Addressing syntax for
Allen–Bradley programmable controllers.
to connect to other devices, specify the name of the tag in the
OPC server or specify the DDE item. If you are using an OPC
node, click the Browse button to select the OPC tag address. If
you are using a DDE node, the DDE item name and format
depend on the DDE server and are not validated by RSView32.
For more information, see your OPC or DDE server
documentation.
For more information about OPC or DDE see Chapter 3, Setting
up OPC and DDE communications. Also see “Sharing tag values
