OPC Client RDI Configuration

When the OK button is selected, the Add OPC Items dialog will appear, reflecting this configuration option.

1.4.6.2.1 Device Based Example - Automatic

This example displays how multiple tags will be returned when the Device Based:Automatic option is selected from the Multiple OPC Tag Selection dialog. A single Device has been configured in the configuration tool prior to getting the tags from the Tag Browser.

1.4.6.2.1.1 Step 1 - Get Tags

To access the OpenEnterprise OPC Tag Browser, the OPC Device is selected from the configuration tool, and the Get Tags option is selected from the context menu (or select the Get Tags button from the right side of the main interface).

1.4.6.2.1.2 Step 2 - Return Tags

In the example below, the RTU1 Device has been selected. This will mean that all tags returned from this Device in the Tag Browser will be added to MyDevice as configured in the configuration tool. If I had selected the OPC Server object, both RTU1 tags and RTU2 tags would have been added to

MyDevice.

1.4.6.2.1.3 Step 3 - Select Device-based Automatic option

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 Device-based Hierarchy - Automatic option should be selected from the Multiple OPC Tag Selection dialog.
