To use any dataprovider with wonderware products you need a intermediate software layer called DAServer (Data Access Server) or previously IOServer. It's used to establish a DDE/SuiteLink connection between data provider and InTouch in your case. RsLinx provides an OPC DA server for AB controllers' protocols. So you need a DAServer which understand OPC DA. Now Wonderware provides two variants at least to solve this problem: OPCLink and FactorySuite Gateway. Both servers are absolutely free. FSGateway is recommended as a newer software. OPCLink will not be developed as i know after version 8.0.0.0.
Very important recommendation is to install OPC client (DAServer => FSGateway) and OPC DA server (RsLinx) on same node to avoid DCOM activation over the network (Intouch may run on other node of course). Wonderware SuiteLink protocol is much better then DCOM on network use.
