Introduction

To establish communication between atvise and other OPC servers, you must first define these OPC servers as data sources in your project. This enables you to browse these data sources and to connect your local data structure with these data sources (see the section Mirror variables from data sources).

Browsing a data source

Right-click a data source and select Browse to browse the data structure of the server:

You can directly Copy&Paste data variables from a data source to your local object structure or your local object types.

Hint

If you have problems with the connection to a OPC DCOM server, please check out the OPC DCOM configuration page.

For webMI data sources a search function is not implemented yet.

Configure atvise OPC UA to S7

Right-click the data source and select Configure to configure the data source:
