Topic

The OPC topic represents a specific path to a processor. If an RSLogix

default name that corresponds to the Controller Name.

To make sure that the selected RSLinx topic corresponds to the correct
controller or to reconfigure or create a new RSLinx topic do the
following steps.

1. Start RSLinx software by double-clicking the RSLinx icon on the

desktop or by clicking the RSLinx Communication Service on the

system Service Status toolbar

.

2. In RSLinx software click the OPC/DDE menu, and choose Topic

Configuration.

3. Select the topic in the Topic List.

The topic has to correspond to the correct controller path. If not,
set the correct controller path in the communication path
browser.

4. Click Done.
