I have some problems connecting my Ignition to the Logix Emulate. I created my emulate controller and the program I want to simulate. The connection between these two seems to be fine. Then I created a new device connection using Allen-Bradley Logix Driver +21. It appears as connected and it appears in my OPC Quick Client section, but my tags don’t. Does anyone knows what could be happening? ---

Are you sure this is supported? IIRC, past successes with Emulate 5000 use an OPC connection to RSLinx. ---

Once my senior colleague did it this way and I saw a tutorial that did the same thing, but I’m not sure if it’s the correct way.
