Automatically structure imported data points for faster OPC browsing
: This
option enables the automatic generation of sub-folders when using data points on the
device. A sub-folder is created for each scanned or imported device. This allows OPC
clients to browse the OPC tags in a hierarchical way.
Value Data Points
: Select this option to create data points in the old style with
“_Read” (input) and “_Write” (output) data points. Old configurations will have this
option set to continue creating data points using the same style. Newly created
configurations should not use this setting.
7.16.2 System Settings
This tab is shown in Figure 202. It can be used to configure the device through the
Configurator software. In the configuration tree on the left-hand side the user can select
certain groups of settings, e.g. Web server settings. The dialog displays the settings of the
selected group in the dialog area. The structure is similar to the menu structure on the Web
UI.
Enable the legacy mode if this is required by your network management tool (see Section
7.3.4).
Under the port configuration tree, the user can enable or disable communication protocols
on the device’s ports. Enabled protocols are marked with a checkmark. Click on the
checkmark and toggle it. Note, that depending on the device model communication
protocols on other ports may be disabled.
The IP address settings cannot be changed in this dialog. The FTP server cannot be disabled
in this dialog, either. This ensures that the Configurator can maintain connection to the
device.
The
Upload
button can be used to get the current device settings from the device and
display them in this dialog. The
Download
button can be used to explicitly transfer the
settings from this dialog onto the device.
Important!
After downloading the device settings from this dialog the changes will be visible
immediately on the Web UI but the device needs to be rebooted to let the changes take
effect.
