DFNT ♦ ProLinx Gateway EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging Client/Server Reference Protocol Manual 5.7.1 DDE Connection This section discusses setting up a DDE connection to the module in order to transfer data between the module and a DDE compliant application. Each DDE connection requires three basic elements: Application, Topic and Item. These three properties of a DDE link define the program providing the connection, the topic to connect to and the item in the topic that you wish to interface.
Reference Protocol Manual DFNT ♦ ProLinx Gateway EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging Client/Server As discussed in the previous section, RSLinx must be used to define the Topic element for the DDE link definition. This is accomplished using the following procedure. It is assumed that the module can be seen in the RSLinx software. Refer to the RSLinx section of this manual to set up this connection. To define a new Topic, select the TOPIC CONFIGURATION option on the DDE/OPC menu from the RSLinx Main Menu.
DFNT ♦ ProLinx Gateway EtherNet/IP Explicit Messaging Client/Server Reference Protocol Manual Click the NEW button to add a new Topic to the TOPIC LIST. This displays a default name.
