I have a question for those using Rockwell RSLogix and RSLinx Pro or RSLinx Gateway. I have set up DDE links from RSLinx Gateway to an Excel spread sheet. Using Excel's VBasic I have images of the the equipment controlled through 12 different PLC5 PLCs on a DH+ network that change colors or change captions as the PLC controls change equipment functions. This makes a very good mimic of the various operations occuring through out the plant. Where the problem comes in is that members of supervision have seen this operate and want to have more PCs setup with this function in other areas of the plant. The company is willing to pay the expense of more PCs and more copies of RSLinx Pro (this is the lowest version of RSLinx that allows DDE links). So All I have to do is setup the PCs and the software to communicate with my PC which has the PKTX comm card through our existing intranet. I can copy the Excel programs to the new PCs, But I cannot seem to locate the DDE Topic Confiquration Files in any of the RSLinx folders. OK so here is my question: Where do I find the DDE Topic Configuration Files that RSLinx has stored on my PC so I can copy them to the other machines? Or do I have to rewrite these files to each of the new PCs?
