This is how I set up my PLC stuff....
Server Process; Named "PLC" for example:
Assume PCL object named PLC1 and you want to write/read from PLC1.R1000 for example (not AB specific here, I use GE-Fanuc).
Create DataTable object...say Table_PLC1 and edit the database to define a cell for connection to the PLC object....let's name that data member PLC1_R1000 and define the cell location as R1000, so the full data member definition path is Table_PLC1.PLC1_R1000 or equivalently is defined as Table_PLC1.R1000.
Now edit connetions on the PLC1 object and select the R1000 data member. Now define a connection to that member as Table_PLC1.R1000 and save.
Now create a Pot object, say Pot_PLC_R1000, select remote type and enter path as Table_PLC1.R1000
Now edit connections in table object Table_PLC1 and select R1000 data member. Connect Pot_PLC_R1000.value to that member and save.
Client process; Named "Client1" for example:
Now Create a Pot in the client process named Pot_PLC_R1000 and remote it to [PLC]\Pot_PLC_R1000.value. You can control from the client with this pot or you can just drag or insert displayable object linked to this client pot (for display only)
Similarly, create a local client Hypertrend object and define traces to the data table object on the server, for example:
[PLC]\Table_PLC1.R1000.
So in review. In the server process, first connect the Table object cell to the appropriate PCL object data member, then connect the sever Pot.value to the table object cell. Lastly, in the client, through a symlink, link a local client pot remotely to the server pot.value.
Hope this helps...
