If I'm understanding what you want to do (connect an MMI (SCADA) running RsView to a ControlLogix PLC) then you need RsLinx OEM or greater running on the MMI to act as an I/O or OPC server. RsLinx will get the data from the PLC and 'pass' it along to RsView and vice versa. You have to setup the proper 'topics' to exchange the data that you want. RsLinx Lite will not allow you to exchange data between a PLC and an MMI running RsView (Supervisory Edition). Search the forum for RsLinx if needed.
If it's just an RsView ME Panelview Plus then you just have to setup the proper tags in your RsView application and then 'point' / reference them to the correct tags in your ControlLogix PLC (you have to setup your communications and node addresses as per usual).

Peace.

Connect an MMI running RsView to a ControlLogix PLC

When you installed RsLogix 5000 and RsView many online books were installed on your computer.
These books have good examples of how to do what you want.
The books are under the help section/online books.
You are right, you have to use PLC5 MSG instructions to read data from legacy RIO devices even though you are using controllogix.
I only ever did this on 1 project so I can't help you too much.
The way I completed the job was by using the online books and AB tech support (which is not free).

Here is a link I found to a pdf book on AB's website which may help you.
