    ⇒

    The current configuration of the OPCServer.ini is shown.

    ../_images/18eb5af44c8e655d0a317f343dd4aafb1

  2. If the configuration is needed furthermore, store it under a new name.

  3. Note

    Update Rate may not be 0 (ms)!

    The default value of 200 ms is suitable value of many applications.

    The adjustment for the Update Rate depends on the number of symbols (variables).

    For a big number of sysmbols it can be better to increase the update rate.

  4. If the *.sdb files should be loaded from the Gateway Files directory on PC, the project name must be identical with project name in IEC 61131-3 editor. The extension is not necessary.

    If the symbol information should be loaded from AC500 V2.x, the project name is not required, can also be empty.

    The checkboxes Active, Motorola Byteorder and No Login-Service must be checked.

    The checkbox Enable logging allows a later diagnosis.

  5. Setup Connection: Click on Connection, Click on Edit, choose a channel of the Channel list (normally the channel which is used for programming) or click new.

  6. If more than one PLC, then repeat for the other PLCs (Gateway depends on Version of AC500).

    Note

    Previous settings of gateway channels are only visible, after the first time the connection has been built up.
