Behavior of the OPC Server V3 with DigiVis500ΒΆ

Setup

  • Windows 7, Professional 32 bit, SP1
  • DigiVis500_SP1

With DigiVis500 installation the ABB OPC Tunnel is installed and registered automatically as service (session 0) with Startup type: Automatic. Automatic means ABB OPC Tunnel will start as soon as the Windows system starts up.

With the start of the ABB OPC Tunnel (OCTsvc.exe), the OPCServer (WinCoDeSysOPC.exe) and also the IEC 61131-3 editor gateway server (Gateway.exe) are started in session 0.

Note

Communication of CBP or IEC 61131-3 editor (session 1) with AC500 is not possible more. They need the Gateway.exe in session 1, but the IEC 61131-3 editor gateway server is not able to run in multi sessions.

To use CBP or IEC 61131-3 editor, the OPC tunnel service must be stopped. This can be done in Component Service, Service (local), ABB OPC Tunnel with the Start, Stop buttons.
