Using RSView32 Messenger with RSView SE.

Hi All

I have downloaded the manual on "Using RSView32 Messenger with RSView SE".

In order to use messenger you have to install RSView32.

Don't they have more convinient way to do so?
what about the licensing?

Seeing that Rockwell's produced a 10-page document detailing how to use Messenger with SE by using a "complete" RSView32 installation then my guess is that no, there isn't a more convenient way to do it. My guess regarding the licensing is "Pay up"

Maybe some 3rd-party packages or a home-brew VBA solution would be better.

You may try U.C.ME-OPC that works directly with RSLinx via OPC. A trial version may be downloaded at http://www.controlsee.com .

If you use SMS, you may also send text messages from your cell phone to change or query tag values.

I asked my local Allen-Bradley dealer about Messenger for RSViewSE a few months ago and they pointed me to Win911 by Specter instruments: http://www.specterinstruments.com/

I haven't used it so I can't say if it works well or not.
