Summary:
I have an Allen-Bradley 1784-PCMK card and I want to use it with Citect. Is this possible? 

Solution:
Yes. Citect can use the 1784-PCMK card to communicate via Data Highway Plus using Citect's Yes. Citect can use the 1784-PCMK card to communicate via Data Highway Plus using Citect's ABKT or ABRSLinx drivers, which communicate with Allen-Bradley devices using RSLinx software. However, we recommend using the ABRSLinx driver, as our ABKT driver was designed specifically for AB Interchange software that RSLinx replaced. RSLinx-Lite does NOT provide the necessary interface to third party software, and so is unsuitable for the Citect ABRSLinx driver. You must use either the RSLinx or RSLinx-OEM package.

RSLinx is available from Allen-Bradley.
