In order to deliver a better answer, more details are needed. What Versions are you running, what OS, etc.

Making Assumptions on versions: Configure RSLinx as an OPCServer, then use Wonderware FSGateway to connect RSLinx to InTouch. Should be easy as Sunday morning (especially if you read the installation and help files that come with all software.)

If the versions are slightly older... then FSGateway would instead be OPCLink (read the help to understand the configuration.)

I have seen this successfully achieved.

PROTIP: To avoid unnecessary headache, install the OPCLink, or FSGateway on the same node as RSLinx. This avoids the nasty DCOM issues associated with OPC.

PROTIP: When all else fails, there are MANY topics associated to this issue to be found on Google. Search: RS Emulate to InTouch

You have everything you need:

Download the FSGateway from https://wdn.wonderware.com v2.0.1 (You must register first obviously).

Configure the OPC Server in RSLinx to display the registers in Emulate.

Configure FSGateway as an OPC Client (remember PROTIP from previous thread).

Create tags in InTouch to use FSGateway to display those same registers. PROTIP (Take advantage of the OPCBrowser).

Read the help files built in to each component to learn how to configure. This is not a difficult procedure.
