Use the web interface to obtain the location of the data for a specific
node. Select Automation Network/View Configuration Files and click on
the link AN-X-PBSLV Ethernet/IP PLC-5 Register Map.
Using RSLinx
To configure a topic in RSLinx to access data on the AN-X-PBSLV:
1. Create a new topic. From the main menu select DDE/OPC/Topic
Configuration. Click New and give the topic a name.
2. For the Data source, browse the path to the AN-X module and click
Apply.
3. On the Data Collection tab, set the Processor Type to PLC-5. Check
Polled Messages and select an appropriate update rate. Leave
everything else unchecked. Click Apply
4. You do not need to set anything on the Advanced Communication
tab.
5. Click Done to complete the topic configuration.
You should now be able to access data using any DDE or OPC client
capable of communicating with RSLinx.
Other OPC Servers
Details for configuring other OPC servers are found in technical notes on

Modbus over Ethernet
AN-X-PBSLV supports Modbus over Ethernet. OPC/DDE servers that
support Modbus over Ethernet can communicate with AN-X-PBSLV to
read and write PROFIBUS node data.
The data for each node is accessed by setting the Unit ID to the
PROFIBUS node number.
For each node, PROFIBUS data is mapped to 0xxxxx, 1xxxxx, 3xxxxx,
and 4xxxxx registers. To view the mapping, use the web interface and
select Automation Network/View Active Configuration.
