While in runtime mode ProcessLinx acts as an OPC Client to both the
ProcessLogix server and the external OPC Server. Initiating runtime mode
establishes all OPC Groups and Items with the specified OPC Server(s). The
opened TagMap configuration (See Figure 2.1) is activated. If an OPC
server(s) connection cannot be established upon startup, an error will be
logged to the Message Log window and the driver will be placed into configure
mode.
