General information about building object tree

The object tree is built in the Communication structure of SAB600. It is built by adding
objects in a logical order starting from the Gateway.
You have several possible ways to add objects to the object tree in the Communication
structure:
• You can right-click the object to which you want to add a child object. Then select
New > Object type group > Object name, for example
•
You can right-click the object type and select New > New. A New Object window
appears. Select the object type you want to add and click OK or double-click it.
•
You can copy the object.
Add the objects in the following order:
1. Gateway
2. DNP Serial OPC Server
3. DNP Serial Channel
4. Logical Device objects
5. Logical Node objects
6. Data objects
For information on building a substation structure, see COM600 HMI Configuration
