Data Exchange Between the
COS and Logix Control Engine
You can exchange data between the COS and the Logix control engine on the
CompactLogix 5480 controller.
FactoryTalk Linx Software
FactoryTalk Linx software, formerly known as RSLinx Enterprise software,
facilitates the communication of data between the Logix control engine on the
CompactLogix 5480 controller and devices on an EtherNet/IP network.
Previous to the release of the CompactLogix 5480 controller, you were
required to install FactoryTalk Linx browser software on a workstation to use it
with a Logix 5000 controller.
The COS on a CompactLogix 5480 controller lets you install
FactoryTalk Linx software on the controller itself without the need for a
workstation.
FactoryTalk Linx software is launched through FactoryTalk Administration
Console software that is included with the installation of FactoryTalk Services
Platform.
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway Software
FactoryTalk Linx software can be used as a standalone tool. It can also be used
as part of the FactoryTalk Linx Gateway software.
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway is an OPC Unified Architecture (UA) and Classic
Data Access (DA) data server. FactoryTalk Linx Gateway lets OPC clients to
connect to, and access tag data from, FactoryTalk applications that contain
FactoryTalk Linx and FactoryTalk View SE servers.
FactoryTalk Linx Gateway can send data to, and retrieve data from, any
FactoryTalk Live Data server or OPC server that is defined within a
FactoryTalk system.
