OPC Client RDI Configuration

1.4.6.2.1.5 Step 5 - Tags Added

All tags within the RTU1 Device from the OPC Server have been added to MyDevice in the configuration tool. The Groups have been created automatically from the Group configuration of the

OPC Server.

Each tag will have been added to the database according to its data type, to one of the following

OPCItem tables:-

• OPCItemRealAnalog

• OPCItemIntegerAnalog

• OPCItemDigital

• OPCItemString

Note that the name of each tag when first added is equivalent to its OPC String. This can be a problem when displaying the tag name in a mimic. Since the datumaddress attribute of each OPCItem is the actual tag name without the rest of the OPC string, the name can be changed within the database with a single SQL statement:- update OPCItem<TagDataType> set name = datumaddress;commit;
