Detailed Description of Functions

Browsing OPC Server Items

This function not available if the IOPCBrowseServerAddressSpace

interface is not installed on the OPC server.

You can search through all items on the OPC servers and display them in a format similar

to the Windows explorer. You can display the layered structure of branch items, and all

leaf items on each layer. The data type, access rights (read/write), units, and details are

displayed for each leaf item.

Note

Units and details are optional properties, so they are not displayed if not installed on the OPC

servers.

Creating Groups/Group Names

Up to 50 groups can be created on GateOPC. These groups support OPC server group

objects. Therefore, fewer than 50 groups may be allowed depending on the OPC server

configuration.

You can assign a name to each group. GateOPC limits the number of characters in a

name to 30 characters. However, fewer than 30 characters may be allowed depending

on the OPC server.

Note

• Per OPC DA conventions, each group name must be unique. No two groups may have the

same name.

• While the groups created here correspond to the OPC server settings as well as the group

settings when GateOPC is connected from Remote Monitor. These group settings are not

reflected on DAQLOGGER.

Group Data Update Interval

You can specify the data update interval for each group. The setting range depends on

the OPC servers. The interval is expressed in milliseconds.

Note

These settings correspond to the OPC server settings. See the OPC DA specifications for

details.

Group Percent Deadband

You can enter the percent deadband, specifying when the groups will be updated. The

setting range depends on the OPC servers. The deadband is expressed as a percentage.

Note

These settings correspond to the OPC server settings. See the OPC DA specifications for

details.
