OPC Server Configuration File Interface
With the MICON OPC started up and displayed on your PC screen, click on Configuration File
Interface.
This button allows a user to interact with the ICS TRIPLEX controllers. Most of the
interaction with the controllers tends to be related to the configuration files for the
controllers. The MOPS allows a user to download, compile, execute, preserve, halt and
delete configuration files on the controllers. It is assumed that the user has created a
configuration file on his PC using a text editor. Clicking on the “Configuration” button
brings up the following window.
Most of the functions supported by the new window are self-explanatory. The MOPS will provide
a list of controllers in the list box. This list will contain only those controllers that have responded
to queries from the MOPS or have sent in their heartbeat message to the MOPS at some time. Just
because a controller is displayed in the list, does not imply that the MOPS will be able to
communicate with it. The controller could have gone off-line after it had sent some heartbeat
messages to the MOPS. In such a case, an interaction with that controller will timeout and the
MOPS will display a time-out error in the status box on the “Configuration File Interface” dialog
box.
The “Update Tags” button should be utilized to get the latest list of tags from a controller into the
MOPS database. If a user changes the configuration file that was executing on a controller, then
the user MUST get the latest list of tags available on that controller.
