Configuration
TF6120 52 Version: 1.1
The TPY-File will be automatically generated during the PLC compilation process and is located in the same
directory as the PLC-project. You need to reference the correct TPY file in the configuration so that the
symbol information can be properly read from the ADS device. The OPC XML-DA Server automatically reads
this file during startup.
You can always adapt the above configuration file to your needs, for example if you want to make additional
ADS devices accessible via OPC XML-DA. You only need to create a new area <Device>...</Device> and fill
it with the corresponding settings of your ADS device.
