How to store RSlinx configuration on the network?

[PreLC]

Hello PLCS.NET!

I want to store my plant's RSLinx config on the network, so that it's standard across the table with multiple drivers in the tree.

Is there a way I can use FactoryTalk/RSLinx to accomplish this?

Thanks!

RSLinx comes with the "RSLinx Backup Restore Utility" buried in the Start Menu.

I've used this many times in the past, mostly to fix corrupt RSLinx setups.

This utility is great when installing software onto a new system!
I use the restore feature to configure new rslinx configurations.
hours of typing reduced to several minutes. when I say hours, we have over 150 plc's, hmi terminals, communication boxes, and gateways.

I use that particular one, it's pretty good, but unfortunately doesn't work for RSLinx Enterprise.

Any solutions for that?

This has come up before and I have no first hand experience, but found this old thread. Hopefully the solution is still valid and works for you.
