Setting up WINtelligent LINX to communicate with RSLogix Emulate

Here's how to set up communications between WINtelligent LINX and RSLogix Emulate:

1. Open WINtelligent LINX.
2. Click Comms > Communications Hardware.
3. From the Hardware Devices list, select DH+ Emulator (for RSLogix Emulate 5) or DH485 Emulator (for RSLogix Emulate 500).
4. Click the Add New button. A configuration dialog appears.
5. Type a station number for RSLogix Emulate in the Sta# 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.
6. Click the OK button.

When RSLogix Emulate is running with programs in memory, you can perform a Who Active and see the programs as if they were in PLC-5s on a Data Highway Plus or SLC 500s on a DH-485. Other applications that use WINtelligent LINX can also access the programs as if they were on a communications network.
