Posted 3 Apr 2019 I am trying to setup communications between RSlinx and Softlogix on Windows 7 PC. I open SoftLogix and configure a CPU and Ethernet module. I then cannot open RSLinx GUI since RSLinx is already running as a service. I stop the service, which automatically removes my CPU from SoftLogix but does allow me to open RSLinx GUI. However I cannot connect to the Softlogix now since it has no PLC. When I try and add a CPU I get a message that RSLogix must be run as a service. However in that situation I cannot open the GUI.

Posted 3 Apr 2019 (edited) I'm supposing that you're not able to open the GUI because the RSLinx icon doesn't show in the taskbar in Windows 7. I suggest to make a copy of the shortcut, edit it and add the command line: /service in the Target field. It will look similar to: "C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSLinx\RSLINX.EXE" /service Save it Use this new shortcut to launch RSLinx Now the icon will show in the taskbar and you'll be able to open the GUI while running as service. Hope this helps Bye Edited 3 Apr 2019 by chantecler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
