What is a driver?

A driver is the software interface to the hardware device that allows RSLinx Classic to communicate with your PLC. Configuring a software driver is the first step in establishing a DDE hot link.

Select

Communications > Configure Drivers

to open the

Configure Drivers

dialog box that is used for adding, editing or deleting drivers. The available hardware drivers are shown in the Available Driver Types list. The current configured drivers are shown in the
