6 Communication
The Indirect Data Map is important for several communication types. It maps any data
items from anywhere in the RMC to one location. This allows packing otherwise
discontiguous data together for efficient I/O and messaging communications.
RMCLink ActiveX Control and .NET Assembly
Use RMCLink to communicate with an RMC from numerous programming languages and
applications on a PC. See the RMCLink topic for details.
