About me: I have a fundamental knowledge of PLC's (taken 3 succesive Allen Bradley RSLogix 500 courses with a little applied knowledge)
Problem: considering purchasing allen bradley RS View as an HMI and for OPC commications between an OPC server (utlizing OPC specs based on Axeda FactorySoft OPC Toolkit) and a SLC5/03.
Approach: interface with SLC 5/03 from desktop (with RS View installed) using serial cable (yes i'm less than 50ft). interface between RS View and OPC server utilizing ethernet cable.
i feel confident that I can handle the PLC programming and should be able to get support from Allen Bradley if i have any problem with RS View interfacing with the SLC 5/03. my uncertainty lies in the OPC interface. any recommendations for resources? How do i go about getting RS View to "see" the OPC server?
thank you for your contructive input!
