OPC action values

Once an OPC action is created, it is here it will get its values. This will determine when the OPC action is called upon, in the Output section of Internal activities.

 

OPC action
It is in this drop-down menu all the OPC actions are selectable. Remember that as per standard the first option in the list is selected. To change this the user must change OPC action manually.

Machine
This is where you select the active machine for the OPC action. Remember that as per standard the first option in the list is selected. To change this the user must change the machine manually. Machines are edited/created via "Client" -> "Administration" -> "System settings" -> "Basic data" -> "Machines".

Process value
This is where you select the process value that is active on the OPC action. Process values are crated in their own form via "Client" -> "Administration" -> "Process values". Remember that the first option in this list is automatically activated. To change this the user must make a manual choice in this list.

Set value
Enter a numerical value here, that number will be the number activated on the OPC action.
 

Execution order
This is used if there are more then one OPC action active. Each OPC action will get a number, and that number will determine in which order they will be executed.

Delay ms
This is an additional feature used to further separate multiple OPC actions. Enter a numerical value here which will be in mili seconds. This will decide with how much time each OPC action will be delayed.    

Filter on selected machine
In the bottom left corner of this form the checkbox "Filter on selected machine" is located. As standard this is not activated. However, if it is activated, the OPC actions on the selected are the only ones visible.
