RSlinx iFIX 4.5 opc setup

[SRFAHEY]

I need help is setting up the opc to communicate with iFIX and RSLogis 5000

OK. What OPC Server are you using?

 

[SRFAHEY]

RSLinx OPC Windows XP OS

 

[MorphuisOGrady]

What driver are you using? IGS?

 

[SRFAHEY]

OPC Client V7.40

 

[MorphuisOGrady]

OK. This is fairly straightforward. Where is your problem?

get your topic correctly configured in RSLinx so you are pointing to your PLC.

In iFix watch out if you have INT and you are trying to address individual bits...works much better if your analogues are DINT, and it doesnt cost you anything.

After your iFix OPC server has been installed, Create iFix tags - set source to OPC and the format of the address needs to handled carefully - it's something like:

AI:
OPCRSLinx;grpHMIPLC;AI_TAGNAME;No Access Path

DI:
OPCRSLinx;grpHMIPLC;[FIX]Input[0].10;No Access Path;;/0
