Configuring RSLinx drivers
RSLinx drivers provide a direct connection between RSView32 tags
and Allen–Bradley or SoftLogix 5 programmable controllers. For
details about configuring any of the RSLinx drivers, see your driver
documentation.
You can also use RSLinx with OPC and DDE communications, as
described in Chapter 3, Setting up OPC and DDE communications. You
must use an OPC or DDE connection to handle unsolicited messages
and to communicate with the PLC-5/250 or ControlLogix 5550
device.
For instructions on using unsolicited messages see RSView32
