Parameter
Description
Parallel
When the check box is selected, e@Mattin parallel diagnostic access via the
OPC UA channel can be enabled in addition to an existing connection, e.g. to a
controller (PLC). In the case of parallel access, please note that the OPC UA
client only has read access to the reader. If access to the communications
module already takes place from another application at the same time, this
option cannot be selected.
If the function is disabled, access to the reader can only take place over a
communication channel. If a connection is already established over a
communication channel, an additional connection attempt from another
communication channel is rejected.
Lost events
If the check box is selected, a lost event is generated each time a transponder
leaves the antenna field.
Application name
Name of the OPC UA application of the server. The application name is required
to identify the OPC UA namespace of the reader and should be unique for each
reader within the project.
The application name is part of the URL of the OPC UA server of the reader.
Default port
Here you can change the port number of the application. As default, port
number 4840 is used, the standard TCP port for the OPC UA binary protocol.
