The OPC

Driver address is the name of a

TCP

port defined in the Services file found in the

\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc directory. The OPC Client RDI connects to the OpenEnterprise database via this port. If a second OPC Driver is required, then a new TCP port will need to be defined.

1.4.1.3 Disable

Checking this option will disable the object being configured. It can be enabled at a later stage by selecting the box again, which will remove the check.

1.4.1.4 Retry Period

Specifies the minimum time in seconds that will elapse before the OpenEnterprise database attempts another connection with the OPC Client RDI, should there be a connection failure. Possible values for this field lie within the range of 1 to 20,864 seconds.

1.4.1.5 Check Period

This is the time period that the OpenEnterprise database checks the OPC Client RDI driver, to see if it is working when no other activities are going on.

This field defines the Access Area of the object. A drop-down list reveals all available Access Areas for selection.
