Namespaces
The OPC client browsable namespace provided by the server represents a description of all
process values an OPC client can query from. It can be distinguished between three different
types of namespace elements.
For detailed information, please refer to Namespaces.
Static, Manual Namespace
The manual, "static" namespace is specified in the configuration user interface of the server.
The user who administrates the server, creates channels, devices, tag groups and tags. The
user specifies the settings of the communication lines, the PLC and the data sources to be
provided to the client.
For detailed information, please refer to
System Status Namespace
This namespace contains system tags, which are used to provide status feedback on the
server running. The client simply creates items of these tags and thereby retrieves the server
status directly in the client application. The system status namespace shows the system
date, system time, uptime, project path, number of tags, number of tags active in the clients
and the number of clients connected.
For detailed information, please refer to
MEWTOCOL OPC Server Compatibility Namespace
