Thanks Ryzhij,

but i was looking for a stand alone OPC that would communicate with the ML1100 without any Rockwell interface.

I don't think you can configure Rslinx to collect PLC data just the connection to the device (am I right?)

Cheers

Actually if you are running RSLinx Pro or gateway you can use DDE calls or OPC. You have to set up your DDE/OPC topic first in Linx. Then your application can pull or push data to the PLC through linx. It's in the help files.

OK- Great thanks I didn't know that! I thought it was just a gateway for downloading to the PLC.

I'll Have a look.
