== Creating a new project with the OPCEditor ==

The configuration of the Server is performed via the OPCEditor. A shortcut is installed on your PC.

== HOWTO create a new configuration for the IBH OPC Server for absolute addresses: ==

* First create a new configuration via "File - New".
* Insert a new PLC with "Modify - Insert new PLC".
* In the dialog box "PLC Properties" the communication protocol for the PLC may be selected and a name for the PLC may be entered.
* Now the previously chosen protocol needs to be highlighted in the tree view.
* Via "Modify - Connection settings" the communication parameters for the selected protocol can be chosen.
* Please save your changes before transferring the configuration to the server.
* Now the configuration may be transferred to the server via "Modify - Transfer to OPC server".
* In the following dialog the server "IBHSoftec.IBHOPC.DA.1" needs to be chosen.
* Save your configuration.

== HOWTO create a new configuration for the IBH OPC Server for symbolic addresses: ==

* First create a new configuration via "File - New".
* Insert a new PLC with "Modify - Insert new PLC".
* In the dialog box "PLC Properties" the communication protocol for the PLC may be selected and a name for the PLC may be entered.
* Now the previously chosen protocol needs to be highlighted in the tree view.
* Via "Modify - Connection settings" the communication parameters for the selected protocol can be chosen.
* Highlight the desired PLC and assign the PLC program that contains the symbolic information via "Modify - Assign PLC program".
* Now a window may be opened that permits to pick variables for the server via "Modify - Select variables".
* In the "Variables" view now the variables that may be used with the OPC Server can be selected. Write-protecting variables and changing the default datatype is also possible.
* Please save your changes before transferring the configuration to the server.
* Now the configuration may be transferred to the server via "Modify - Transfer to OPC server".
* In the following dialog the server "IBHSoftec.IBHOPC.DA.1" needs to be chosen.
* Save your configuration.

Inside a project, multiple PLCs with equal and differtent protocols are possible. Also S5 and S7 PLCs may be mixed.

All commands of the "Modify" menu are also available by right-clicking of the mouse or using the toolbar. Only commands valid for the current node can be selected. All other commands are grayed.
