Hello,
I am currently, interfacing a controllogix PLC to Wonderware Intouch 9.5 via the DASABCIP Server. In the DASABCIP server, i just enter the IP address of the clx and am able to get all the I/O without any problems.
I have to go to the clients office to show them a demo of the HMI and the PLC program. I wanted to use the RSLogix Emulate software as I will not have physical hardware to interface with.
I configured a Virtual Chassis in RSLinx and then also, changed the controller properties in RSLogix 5000 to the emulator. I then created a new DDE topic in RSLinx.
In Intouch, i modified the accessname with the application name as RSlinx and the DDE setting but this is not working. Do i need to have some sort of WWRSlinx software to be able to do this? What method of testing i/o do you use when interfacing between the HMI and RSLinx (i.e RSlinx, opc??)
If anyone also has any step by step screenshots that would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to hearing from you all.
