RSLinx – Training Guide C - 7
Configuring LINX:
For software to communicate with a PLC (real or emulated), LINX must be running, and
must have the proper communication driver set up and running. To add a communication
driver in LINX (the procedure for RSLinx is very similar), from the Comms menu, choose
Communication Hardware, and then choose the driver you require, in the case of the
Emulator, either DH+ Emulator or SLC-500 Emulator as shown in the sample LINX screen
below:
In the example above, both the PLC-5 emulator driver, EMU5, and the SLC-500 emulator
driver, EMU500 are running. Note that LINX supports multiple drivers (analogous to
multiple hardware networks such as DH+) and multiple PLC’s on each highway. This is
true for real or emulated PLCs.
