2 First steps using the FP OPC Server
Select "Properties" from the pop-up menu.
2.4 Element Structure
The FP OPC Server allows the creation of a clearly membered hierarchical element structure
that fits the nature of the application. The hierarchy consists of several layers: On the first
layer, multiple communication
channels specify the mean communication. The channels
comprise multiple devices to specify the PLC and its station number. Devices can contain
multiple tag groups to segregate tag data on a group-by-group basis. Devices or tag groups
themselves contain the tag data .
A state-of-the-art import/export mechanism allow you to save, exchange or edit the data
in the XML file format. Exchanging data can also be done using a CSV file. For further
information, please refer to
Import/Export Tag Information .
