11-2 Remotely Program Allen-Bradley Processors Over a Telemetry Network
Remote Programming via
RSLinx
® Gateway ™
When RSLinx Classic is running on a PC that is a node on a serial DF1
Half-Duplex network, then RSLogix 5, RSLogix 500, and RSLogix 5000
running on the same PC can upload, download and go online with
any remote Allen-Bradley processor nodes on that same network. See
chapter 9 for details on configuring RSLinx as a DF1 Half-Duplex
Polling Master node or a DF1 Half-Duplex Slave node.
In addition, if the version of RSLinx Classic is Gateway, then other PCs
connected on the same Ethernet network that are running RSLinx
Classic and RSLogix 5, RSLogix 500, and RSLogix 5000 can also bridge
through that PC and go online with any remote Allen-Bradley
processor node.
To implement the PC bridge, first verify that RSLinx ® Gateway ™ is
enabled on the PC connected to the DF1 Half-Duplex network. Under
Communications, > Configure Gateway, verify that Enable RSLinx
Gateway is checked.
Figure 11.1 Configure RSLink Gateway
Then, on the remote PC that is running RSLinx Classic, create a new
RSLinx Remote Devices via Linx Gateway driver. In the Driver
Selection tab, click on Browse. RSLinx searches the Ethernet network
for any PC’s running RSLinx Gateway. By Server Name, click on the
computer name of the PC running the DF1 Half-Duplex driver and by
Remote Driver Name, click on the name of that DF1 Half-Duplex
driver. Click OK to accept.
