I have a new client that wants a modification to a PanelView Plus screen, I have the original .apa and .mer files and also the .rss files. I was able the use RSEmulate 500 to simulate the Micrologix 1500 ladder logix and was able to set up the OPC data server topic for RSLinx Classic so that I was able to access the tags to make adjustments to the HMI screen in FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition.
Now that I have made the necessary adjustments I would like to click "Test Application" but of course that does not work because it wants to connect to the PLC that's set up under the communication settings under RSLinx Enterprise.
I have came across this in an "RSLinx Enterprise getting results guide publication LNXENT-GR001I-EN-E" on page 39-40
But I beginning to think it's not possible to do this with RSEmulate 500 and that it has to be actually hardware to "Test Application".
Can somebody confirm my suspicion or point me to this documentation that I can't find
or help me figure out how to do this because it would be nice to use RSEmulate 500 to be able to test the RSlogix and PanelView Plus virtually!!
Thanks,
Luke

Use RSLinx Enterprise with RSLinx Classic:
If your RSLinx Enterprise configuration consists of a 1784-PKTX, Serial-DF1, or 1784-PCIC(S) drivers, and you need RSLinx Classic to communicate using that same driver, then you must share the driver within RSLinx Enterprise with RSLinx Classic.
See “Sharing an RSLinx Enterprise driver with RSLinx Classic” in the RSLinx Enterprise Help for this procedure.
