Hi experts

I am a newcomers and at this moment I struggle to configure the alias topic to achieve the virtual redundancy of the topics on Rslinx OPC Server. I couldn't find the good documentation to guide this configuration. I am able to create topics and addin this topic to alias topic, but when I browse the item using RsLinx OPC Tools client, I got nothing there. I read from this forum as well about the predefine items, when can i find this item? Do I need to configure on acd file or on Rslinx OPC server it self??

Any help would be highly appreciated..

Cheers
ITong

Thanks for the link...
It seems I need to install ControlLogix Redundancy Alias Topic Switcher software.

Thank you very much
