Citect and RSLinx

[Noely 0]

Sorry about the first message. My internet connection failed as i was online. What I am trying to do is set up communication with a slc 500 plc using citect scada software. I only use either a 5/03 or a 5/05 processor with the 5/05 on ethernet comms and the 5/03 on df1 coms. What is the best way to do it and is there any examples to be got? Hope this message is a bit clearer Edited 17 Oct 2007 by Noely

You probably haven't got an answer because you're question isn't clear. What are you asking?

Here is the RSLINX driver help from Citect: Citect_V6.10_ABRSLINX_driver_help.pdf Attached some articles from the Citect knowledgebase that might be useful. But agreed, you could be a bit more specific...

Just looking for info on how to set up comms with Citect and a SLC 5/05. I have RSLinx OEM and it activated. Not sure If i need drivers for Citect.

Have you read the documentation I posted at all ? Have you installed Citect ? Configured the drivers as described ? Any specific problems ?

My appologies for that. I've been moving office the last while or so and I had completely forgot that I had posted that question before. Thank you very much for that help and I will keep up to date with what ever questions I post now that things have settled down here.
