OPC Test Client A simple OPC client, useful for testing OPC connectivity. 4.2 NAMING CONVENTIONS TAG.ATOM Notation Many applications use the TAG.ATOM naming convention to reference data values. The TAG portion of the name uniquely identifies the module containing the value. The ATOM portion uniquely identifies which of the values in the module is to be referenced. 4.2.1 TAGs 4.2.1.
53SU6000 INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE 4.2.3 ATOMS 4.2.3.1 Types of ATOMnames There are two types of ATOMnames: SYMBOLIC ATOMNAMES Symbolic ATOMnames are short abbreviations for the name of the value, i.e. PV for Process Variable, etc. For 53MC5000’s and 53SL6000’s, consult the instruments’ Instruction Bulletins for the lists and descriptions of the various ATOMnames. Consult the online help in Super32.
53SU6000 INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE 4.3 INTERFACING WITH THE Micro-PWC GLOBAL DBA The UdciGDS.ini file (located in the Windows root directory) allows several parameters of the Micro-PWC Global DBA system to be customized: [Events] AREA This parameter should be set to the area in which all Micro-DCI events will be reported. This value is ignored if an area as described in Section 4.0 is assigned. Values range from 1 to 255.
53SU6000 INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE 4.4 ASSIGNING AREA, PRIORITY AND LEGENDS The Micro-PWC product and OPC Server expect that tagged modules contain several parameters which are not defined in Micro-DCI instruments.
