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.
Within the <Item>' creation the notation <Access-path> is not necessary.


  • Start 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, because it is aready defined within <OPC Item ID Prefix> .
To access the variables which are already defined within the IBH OPC Editor the correct syntax is:
Generic.<Variable Name>


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