2-4 Getting Started
a remote server connection is lost, ProcessLinx may keep trying to connect
with it, you may have to restart ProcessLinx.
For local OPC servers (running on the same PC as ProcessLinx) this option
is not used. The default is checked. If enabled, you can change the settings
and have them recognized while in runtime operation.
Interface Error Log Directory
Use this option to specify the error log destination directory. If a folder
is specified, all error and information messages displayed in the driver’s
log window are logged. ProcessLinx generates a new log file daily. If this
field is left blank, no error or information logging occurs.
Maximum # of Screen Buffer Lines in On-Screen Message Log
Use this option to specify the maximum lines to display in the Message
Log Pane. If the current number of lines is greater or equal to this the
first 50% of these messages are removed. This only concerns on-screen
messages. The messages logged to the log file are not removed.
This option also minimizes memory usage. The buffer can consume up
to 1 MB of memory otherwise.
Clear On-Screen Messages When Limit is Hit
Use this option to specify when the number of lines displayed in the
Message Log Pane hits the limit defined in the option above. The whole
buffer (all on-screen messages) is cleared. If unchecked then only the
first 50% will be removed.
Retry Wait Period (in milliseconds) for Redundancy / OPC Server Switchover
Use this option to specify the retry wait period before attempting to
connect to an OPC Server that has stopped communicating. This is
used in runtime mode during a switchover. Changes to this setting can
be made, and are recognized during runtime operation.
ATTENTION
!
This restart situation depends on how you
setup DCOM with the COM interface (OPC
Server). Be certain to follow the DCOM steps
in Chapter 7 for best performance when you
configure TCP/IP and DCOM with COM I/F
to OPC Server.
