WinCC 6.2 read from AB Logix5000 controller using OPC?

[dguedez]

Anybody know how to setup WinCC 6.2 OPC to read data from AB Logix5000 controller? I'm aware there is a way to do this using rslinx as an opc server? An example WinCC project would help.

I think i got it figured out

Ok so it seems, after installing rslinx on the same machine, WinCC was able to find the RSLinx OPC server using the System Parameters of the OPC group > OPC Item Manager.

I've never used WinCC, but with other scada that's the way to do it.
