Primary Server

These settings define the Name and Node of the OPC DA server. Typically, the Name is defaulted correctly. If the Cimplicity server is on the local machine, leave local checked, otherwise uncheck and specify either the name or IP address of the machine where Cimplicity is running.

Use the Test Connection button to verify a connection to the server.

Secondary Server

These settings define the (optional) secondary Cimplicity to connect to if a connection to the Primary Server fails.

Settings

For information on the specific settings, see the DATA CONNECTIVITY, OPC document.
