Make sure that you have configured a suitable driver in RSLinx before attempting to set up the channel.
From your other posts, it looks like you want to communicate on DH+ so you will need to add a driver to RSLinx to specify the details of your interface card. In RSLinx select Communications> Configure Drivers... and then select the driver for the type of interface you have. You will need to enter the details required about your interface configuration.
Once you have done this, in RSView configure a Channel of type DH+ (again, assuming this is how you want to talk to the PLC) and then select the RSLinx driver you just configured.
After you have a channel configured, you will need to specify the Node or Nodes you want to talk to. Here you will have to identify the DH+ address of the PLC you intend to talk to.
Then you're in business!
