Tutorial - Importing from an OPCXmIDA
(review if this subsection is really important here)
Below is a configuration model for Kepware as a server and FactoryStudio as a Client.
Create a name and use an Address similar to the image.
In kepware right click on Channel and create a device.
Right-click on device and create a Tag, use a name of your choice and register an address similar to the one in the image.
Once this is done, we configure the device module in FactoryStudio.
1. Create an OPCxmIDA Client Legacy channel.
2. Create an OPCxmIDA Node and configure it in PrimaryStstion > Service URL > Kepware.KEPServerEX.V6.
3. After that, just click on Sync and click on refresh to find your Kepware Tag as in the image below:
To make the configured tags visible to the OPC Server, simply change the visibility property:
Public: Can be read or written to in the OPC.
Protected: Can only be read.
Private: Cannot be seen or read.
