Create Variables with Intouch FS Gateway

To create Variables with Intouch FS Gateway with Intouch, please follow the description step by step.

• Start the ArchestrA System Management Console

Start ⇒ Programme ⇒ Wonderware ⇒ System Management Console

• Add a OPC Node via <Add OPC Object> with the name IBH:

As <Server Node> enter the IP Address of the PC , where the IBH OPC Server is running:

As <Server Name> choose the IBH OPC Server:

• Add a OPC Group with the name OPC_Server:

Within the filed <OPC Item ID Prefix> the name of the PLC can be entered, which was created within IBH OPC Editor f.e. PLC1 followed by a dot.

Dadurch kann die Angabe <Access-path> bei der späteren <Item> Erstellung entfallen.

• Starte the Intouch WindowMaker and create a new Acess name f.e. IBH_OPC :

As <Node name> enter the IP Address of the PC , where the IBH OPC Server is running:

As <Application name> enter FSGateway.

The <Topic-Name> is the combination of Node name IBH and OPC Group name OPC_Server.

• Now the Variables can be created:

Select the newly created access name IBH_OPC.

The entry <Item> consists of :

<Access-Path>.<Item Name>.

The <Access-Path> represents the name of the <PLC>, which has been created in the IBH OPC Editor.

The <Access-Path> is not necessary in our sample, da dieser im <OPC Item ID Prefix> schon angelegt wurde.

Um auf im IBH OPC Editor definierte Variablen zuzugreifen muss der Eintrag wie folgt lauten::Generic.<Variablenname>

• The configuration is now completed and the variables/registers can be used:
