If you have set up your communications for your physical processors, you'll find setting up communications for RSLogix Emulate a simple procedure. Basically, you'll set up communications between RSLogix Emulate and RSLinx exactly as if RSLogix Emulate is a hardware device.
Here's how to set up communications between RSLinx and RSLogix Emulate:
Open RSLinx.
In RSLinx, click Communications > Configure Drivers. RSLinx displays the Configure Drivers dialog.
From the Available Driver Types list, select PLC-5 (DH+) Emulator or SLC-500 (DH485) Emulator, and click the Add New button. RSLinx displays a dialog for naming the driver you selected. Click OK to continue.
RSLinx displays a dialog for configuring the driver. Type a station number for RSLogix Emulate in the Station Number field. Remember, RSLogix Emulate is being treated as if it were a hardware device, so it needs a unique station number. You can also type a name for RSLogix Emulate in the Station Name field.
When you have configured the driver, click OK. The driver configuration dialog closes.
When RSLogix Emulate is running with programs in memory, you can use the Who Active or RSWho functions and see the emulator as if it was a PLC-5 on a Data Highway Plus network or an SLC-500 on a DH485 network. Other applications that use RSLinx can also access the programs as if they were on a communications network.
