The RS Linx Enterprise or the FactoryTalk Linx Enterprise (the version depends on which FTV you are using), is to communicate the HMI Client to the PLC.
#RSLINX CLASSIC CANT FIND NODE SOFTWARE#
We also use RSLinx on our laptop when we want to access the PLC or HMI using the respective programming software.įor your system to reach into our PLC data table, the RSLinx Gateway software will need to be installed and configured on your computer which is running your software and that needs to access our PLC.įirst of all, to communicate with any Rockwell PLC, it's mandatory to have at least the RSLinx Classic. The communications between our PLC and HMI is inherently built into the devices and configured using RSLinx Enterprise which is installed on our programming laptop. We currently do not have a copy of RSLinx installed in our system onsite. This is what the client said in the email. I can give you a reference of what the client is demanding.
I have found the OPC CLient code in the C# but I can't find how should I connect it to the OPC server and is there any testing simulation available that could give me the testing data that I would be receiving from client's PLC. My task is to write a code in C# that sends and receive tags from/to their communication server OPC server) RSLINX which will be connected to the client's PLC. I am new to PLC Programming and I do not know the basic of it.
