70 RSLinx – Training Guide
RSView32 6.0 or higher can be configured for OPC through the node configuration.
Under the systems folder in the project dialog, choose “Node”. Radio buttons on the top
of the dialog will allow you to select Direct Driver, DDE or OPC as a node type. Choose
OPC.
Next, move to the “Name” text box. Enter a name for the station. It can be anything you
want. Then move to the “Server Name” text box, click the browse button . Select the
OPC server you wish to connect to, “RSLinx OPC Server”
for example. The “In-Process” radio button will be automatically selected.
Finally under “Access Path”, type in the name of the DDE topic you wish to connect to in
the server. In other words, “Access Path” is the DDE topic. Note, that although you are
entering a DDE topic name, RSView32 will communicate to the server via OPC, not
DDE! That’s it!
