1.4.5.18 Plant Area

OPC Client RDI Configuration

This is the PlantArea attribute of the OPC Item. It normally provides information on the location of the actual device that the signal belongs to. It is automatically populated based on the contents of the

Plant Area table.

1.4.5.19 Alarm Condition Button

This button launches the Alarm Condition Configuration Tool for the configuration of local alarm conditions for OPC Items. The identity of the OPC Item is not passed directly to the Alarm Condition

Configuration tool, so it would be advisable to copy the name of the signal from its Tag before using this button.

1.4.5.20 OK Button

If this button is selected, the dialog will close, and changes made on the dialog will be entered into the

OpenEnterprise database.

1.4.5.21 Cancel Button

If this button is selected, the dialog will close, but no transaction with the OpenEnterprise database will be made. Changes made on the dialog will be lost.

1.4.6 Multiple OPC Tag Selection Dialog

This dialog is displayed only if the Get Tags command has been selected from a Server or Device node within the OPC Client RDI configuration tool. The dialog appears when the Tag Browser has finished retrieving the tags requested, but before they are entered into the database. It enables you to determine the best way to add the multiple tags to your OPC Client RDI configuration.

1.4.6.1 Flat Hierarchy - Automatic

This option enables you to add the returned tags to any specific single OPC Device and Group. The

Device or the Group may have been already configured, or may be configured from the Add OPC

Item dialog before the tags are added.
