2. Run the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager user interface on the remote

files on the local computer.

the local computer.
RSLinx Classic OPC
The RSLinx Classic OPC control connector service can be used for data
items that reside in Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC),
with the exception of the Logix family of controllers. The RSLinx Classic
OPC control connector must be on the same computer on which RSLinx
Classic is running.
OPC recognizes when a controller sends a message to a client with the same value,
but does not forward that message to the client. If you are using MSG instructions to
trigger transactions, then you must ensure that the value is different in each MSG
instruction. Additionally, you can use the DDE control connector to forward all values
to your application.
RSView32
The RSView32 control connector service can be used to interface with tags
provided by RSView32 applications. The FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
RSView32 control connector must be on the same computer on which the
RSView32 project is running. The FactoryTalk Transaction Manager user
interface can browse for RSView32 project tags on remote computers, but
when the transactions are running, the RSView32 control connector must be
on the same computer as the RSView project.
The RSView32 control connector can be used to collect data from either
memory tags or device tags. Device tags are updated every 300
milliseconds.
