Chapter
RSWho
This chapter describes features of the RSWho network browser interface.
RSWho allows you to view all the active network connections from a single
screen.
Using RSWho
RSWho is RSLinx’s main window that displays networks and devices in a style
similar to Windows Explorer. A variety of integrated configuration and
monitoring tools are accessible from the right mouse button in RSWho. Some
of the available tools are the ControlLogix Gateway Configuration Tool for
1756-DHRIO, 1756-ENET, and 1756-CNB modules, a Ladder Viewer for
PLC-5, SLC, or MicroLogix family processors, and a Data Monitor for
monitoring live data out of any ControlLogix, PLC-5, SLC, or MicroLogix
family controllers.
RSWho
19
The left pane of RSWho is the tree control, which shows networks and devices.
The right pane is the list control, which shows all members of a collection. A
collection is a network, or a device that is a bridge. Right-click in the list control
and choose a view option of Large Icons or Details.
Tip
A device that appears with a red X indicates that RSWho
previously recognized this device, but now it can not. The red X
indicates a communication status error, such as unplugging a
recognized device. These devices can be removed from the
RSWho display by right-clicking on the device and selecting
Remove.
RSWho browsing
The RSWho icon indicates a network. If this icon is animated, the network
is being browsed. Click a network or device to start browsing.
When the network or device is collapsed (indicated by the + sign), click + or
double-click the network or device icon next to the + to expand the view and

Chapter
DDE and OPC
connectivity
This chapter describes the features of:
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
OLE for Process Control (OPC)
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a standard inter-application
communication protocol built into Microsoft Windows operating systems and
supported by many applications that run under Windows. DDE takes data
from one application and gives it to another application. It allows Windows
programs that support DDE to exchange data between themselves.
A DDE server is a program that has access to data and can provide that data
to other Windows programs.
A DDE client is a program that can obtain data from a server.
By specifying an application, topic, and item, a client application can exchange
data with a server application.
DDE works like a conversation between two people. The people represent the
different applications running under Windows, and the data they share is what
they are talking about. RSLinx does not know the type of data it is receiving, it
only knows that a DDE link is providing the data.
For example, if you have a DDE link from RSLinx to an Excel spreadsheet,
Excel does not know that you are sending a counter value into a spreadsheet.
All Excel sees is data.
For example, RSLINX is the application name, PLC5TOPIC1 is an example
topic name, and C5:0.ACC is an example item, in this case a counter
accumulator in an Allen-Bradley PLC-5.
DDE and OPC connectivity
21
Tip
Not all applications that run under Microsoft Windows support
DDE. Check with an application’s manufacturer before
purchasing an application for use with RSLinx.
For more information about DDE, refer to the DDE (Dynamic Data
Exchange) topic in the RSLinx help file.
OLE for Process Control (OPC)
OPC, or OLE for Process Control, is a communication standard based on
OLE technology provided by Microsoft and developed and maintained by the
OPC Foundation, a coalition of industrial/manufacturing companies of which
Rockwell Software is a member. The charter of this group is to provide an
industrial standard exchange mechanism between plant floor devices and client
applications. RSLinx is an OPC-compliant server exposing the required
interfaces for an OPC client application to access data consistent with other
OPC-compliant servers. The added benefit provided from RSLinx is its ability
to provide several DDE formats in addition to OPC.
OLE for Process Control (OPC) is designed to allow client applications access
to plant floor data in a consistent manner. OPC provides many benefits:
Hardware manufacturers only have to make one set of software components
for customers to utilize in their applications.
Software developers do not have to rewrite drivers because of feature
changes or additions in a new hardware release.
Customers have more choices with which to develop world class integrated
manufacturing systems.
With OPC, system integration in a heterogeneous computing environment is
simple. Leveraging the OLE/COM environment is possible.
RSLinx is an OPC compliant server. For more information about OPC, visit
the OPC Foundation web site at www.opcfoundation.org. For more
information on using OPC with Rockwell Software products, visit our web site
at www.software.rockwell.com/support.
22
DDE/OPC client connectivity
RSLinx provides connectivity for client applications using OPC or multiple
DDE data formats. The OPC and AdvanceDDE interfaces provide optimized
read operations by packing multiple requests from multiple clients in a single
transaction. In configuring a DDE Topic, you can specify whether or not you
want DDE poke operations optimized. Optimized pokes only work with PLC5 and SLC processors.
The benefit of optimizing DDE poke operations is packing multiple updates in
a single write operation, thus reducing the overall number of packets required.
Operations such as downloading a recipe can take advantage of this feature.
Other DDE formats supported include FastDDE (for Wonderware clients),
XL_Table and CF_Text to support Microsoft Office products, and other
generic DDE client applications.

Appendix
Activation
Rockwell Software’s products are copy-protected. Only a computer with access
to the activation key can run the software. The key is located in an activation
file, which is originally located on the Master disk supplied with the RSLinx
product. The activation file contains one activation key per product. Each key
contains one or more licenses depending on how many copies of the product
you have purchased.
Tip
Store your Master disk in a safe place. If your activation becomes
damaged, the Master disk may be the only means to run your
software in an emergency.
During the setup process, the setup program gives you the opportunity to
move the activation file from the Master disk to the root directory of the drive
on which you’re installing the software.
When you launch RSLinx, the software first checks your local hard drives, then
network hard drives, and finally local floppy drives for activation. If the system
fails to detect either the activation file or the Master disk, your software reverts
to the RSLinx Lite version.
Tip
Systems attached to extensive networks can take quite a while to
search for activation files on all available drives. You can use the
CHECKDRIVES environment variable to specify and/or limit
the drives your software checks for activation files and to specify
the order in which they are checked. Refer to the activation
utilities online help file by selecting Help > Copy Protection.
Activation
31
Protecting your activation files
Caution
Certain anti-virus software packages, such as Norton Anti-virus,
can corrupt the activation files. Configure your anti-virus
software to avoid checking the files EVRSI.SYS and
386SWAP.PAR.
To avoid damaging your activation files, do not perform the following
operations with activation files on the hard drive.
Restore from backup
Upgrade the operating system
Reinstall the same version of DOS
Uninstall DOS
Compress or uncompress the hard drive
Turn off Windows for Workgroups 32-bit file access. If activation files were
moved to a hard drive with 32-bit file access on, turning off 32-bit file access
results in activation files being lost. (You can turn on 32-bit disk access and
32-bit file access in Windows for Workgroups without harming the
activation file.)
Defragmentation utilities will not harm activation files.
Before running any type of utility that may modify the structure or organization
of the hard drive, remove activation from the hard drive:
1. Use the Move Activation utility (EvMove) to move activation files from
the hard drive to an activation disk.
Caution
Do not use the the Move Activation utility if Rockwell Software
products are currently running. Ensure all software programs are
closed before initiating the EvMove utility.
Run EVMOVE.EXE from your hard drive (located in C:\Program
Files\Rockwell Software\RSUtil if you accepted the default directory
location during installation).
2.
32
Perform the hard disk operation.
3.
Move the activation files back to the hard drive.
Caution
You must use the move utility, EvMove, to move activation files.
Attempts to copy, move or e-mail an activation file by other
means will damage the file.
Activating RSLinx
Depending on your needs, you can activate RSLinx from any of the following:
Hard drive. The activation key resides on your computer’s hard disk. Use this
method if you will typically use RSLinx on only one computer. This is the
default method if you activate RSLinx during installation. To run RSLinx on a
different computer, move the activation key back to the Master disk, and then
to the hard drive of the new computer.
Diskette drive. The activation key resides on a floppy disk (activation disk). Use
this method if you will typically use RSLinx on more than one computer, for
example, if you want to run RSLinx on a desktop computer at some times and
a portable computer at others.
Network drive. The activation keys reside on a network drive. Use this method
if you have purchased multiple licenses of the software and want several users
to be able to activate the software over a network. Refer to the online help for
instructions on moving activation to a network drive (refer to the “Finding
more information about activation” section in this chapter to access online
help).
Running the activation utilities
The utilities for moving and resetting activation are called EvMove and Reset
respectively. Reset is used when an activation file has been damaged. The
EVMOVE.EXE and RESET.EXE files are located on your hard drive (located
in C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSUtil if you accepted the default
directory location during installation). To run these programs, select Start >
Progams > Rockwell Software > Utilities > Move Activation or Reset

installation).
Some common questions
Following are some common problems that people encounter with activation
and their solutions.
My activation files were damaged. What should I
do?
If you have lost the activation because the activation file is damaged, you need
to reset activation. Follow the Reset Codes instructions on the Rockwell
Software Technical Support web page, or call the technical support telephone
number. The web page and telephone number are both listed on the inside
front cover of this guide.
If you cannot obtain a reset code immediately, follow these instructions to use
the Master disk to activate the software as a temporary solution.
To use the Master disk to activate software:
1. Set the KEYDISK environment variable to TRUE. (Please refer to the
online help.)
2.
34
Insert your Master disk in the floppy drive.
3.
Run your software as usual. Your software will find the activation on the
Master disk.
I accidentally deleted the software directory on my
hard drive. Do I need to call Rockwell Software for
replacement activation files?
No. Deleting the program files does not delete your activation. The activation
files are not stored in the program directory; they are located in the root
directory. Your activation files will not be lost unless you format the hard drive,
tamper with hidden files in the root directory, or perform certain other hard
drive operations (refer to the “Protecting your activation files” section in this
chapter for more information).
To get the software running again, simply reinstall the software, but do not
move the activation when given the opportunity.
Why can’t I move activation to a new floppy disk on
a Windows NT system?
It has to do with a disk modification that NT does not allow. If you have access
to a machine with a different Windows operating system, you can create a disk
that will work under NT. Format a floppy and move any activation file to it
under Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98. (You can move the activation back off
the disk if you want to keep it where it was.) Then take that disk to your
Windows NT machine and move the activation to it.

Glossary
Activation disk — Any disk (floppy or hard) containing an activation
file. An activation disk can be used to activate the software. This is
different from a key disk (Master Disk) in that at least one license of the
software must be available on the activation disk to activate the software.
Activation file — A hidden, read-only, system file that “activates” a
Rockwell Software product. The software will run only if your system can
find the correct activation file.
Activation key — Activation files contain a database of activation keys.
Each key is particular to a certain product and must be accessible on a
local or remote drive for that product to run.
Driver — The software interface to the hardware device that will be used
to communicate between RSLinx and your processor.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) — A form of inter-process
communication. When two or more programs that support DDE are
running simultaneously, they can exchange information and commands.
Key disk — A floppy disk that can be used to activate the software even
if that disk contains zero licenses. The Master Disk is the only key disk.
This differs from an activation disk in that an activation disk must
contain at least one license.
License — Authorization to use a specified number of instances of
software. A product’s activation key contains a license for each copy of
the software you have purchased. For example, if you bought seven
copies of RSLinx, then the RSLinx key on the Master Disk contains seven
“licenses” of RSLinx. You can move the activation file for RSLinx to
seven different computers.
Links
— The data path established for one or more channels between
two or more stations. DDE links can be hot, warm, or cold.
Master disk
— This disk is supplied with the software. It contains a
database of keys in an “activation file” that enables the software to run.
Be sure to store your Master Disk in a safe place. If your activation file
becomes damaged, the only way you can run your software (until the
activation is reset) is with your Master Disk.
Glossary
37
OPC
— Provides an industry-standard mechanism to communicate and
exchange data between clients and servers using OLE technology.
Packet
Poke
— The transmission unit exchanged at the network layer.
— DDE’s version of a write.
Read — To acquire data from somewhere (memory, an output, another
station).
38
Topic
— Represents a specific path to a processor.
Write
— To load data into somewhere (memory, an output, another station).
