This procedure also works for the PLC-5.   In this example, I have a SLC 5\/04 running on DH+.   It does not matter what your communication method is, or which processor you use.  As long as you can actively see the processor in RSWho, and have RSLinx Professional, you will be able to connect using the OPC method.    Remember, to actively view and connect to tags through OPC, you must install and activate RSLinx.<\/p><div id=\"bryce-3746718599\" class=\"bryce-afterfirst bryce-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8316758073402323\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8316758073402323\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7728240895\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Configure the OPC Topic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before setting up the communication in FactoryTalk view, we&#8217;ll configure an OPC topic in RSLinx.
