Hi,
I have a ControlLogix L61 CPU with an Ethernet Module & some digital I/O connected to a switch and then connected to a PanelView 6 Plus HMI. I can get online to the PLC via ethernet & I can also connect to my HMI via ethernet no problem. What I want to do is from FactoryTalkView ME be able to browse tags in the PLC (online) or project (offline) but I can't figure out what I need to setup in FactoryTalkView ME?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Paul.
 
Have you set-up your shortcut on the communications tab?
Also, on the comms tab you can set the path to browse to the offline project.

Hope This Helps
 
Bob O,
Thanks for the reply. I will try your suggestion when i return to work. I read somewhere that RSLinx Classic had to be used to communicate between RSLogix 5000 & FactoryTalkView ME project. On the communications tab in FactoryTalkView ME the RSLinx is RSLinx Enterprise. Don't know if this makes a difference.

Thanks
Paul.
