Technical Note Details:
Background:
When connecting to RSLinx Gateway from a RSView32 client using Remote
OPC, the user must perform some additional configuration steps when RSLinx is
not installed on the client machine. This technote documents how to make the
connection.
System Requirements:
To implement Remote OPC, there must be a Windows NT network with a
Primary Domain Controller (PDC) that all computers login to. If the RSView32
client is running on Windows 95/98 DCOM must be installed and properly
configured. For more information on Remote OPC system requirements consult
the RSView32 online help, Requirements for using OPC on a Client/Server
network.
