Description of the parameters
Description
Name of the OPC UA application of the server. The application name is re-
quired to identify the OPC UA namespace of the communication module and
should be unique for each communication module within the project.
The application name is part of the URL of the OPC UA server of the commu-
nication module.
Minimum sampling interval at which the communication module samples the
process data.
Range of values: 10 .. 50 ms
Default setting: 50 ms
Here you can change the port number of the application. As default, port num-
ber 4840 is used, the standard TCP port for the OPC UA binary protocol.
Minimum publishing interval supported by the server application at which the
process data is published for logged on OPC UA clients. Lower values set by
an OPC UA client are not taken into account.
Range of values: 10 .. 65535 ms
Default setting: 50 ms
Description of the parameters
Description
In addition to an existing connection, e.g. to a controller (PLC), parallel diag-
nostics access via the OPC UA channel can be enabled. In the case of parallel
access, please note that the OPC UA client only has read access to the com-
munication module.
If the function is disabled, access to the communication module can take place
either via the controller or via the OPC UA channel. If a connection is already
established, an additional connection attempt from the other communication
channel is rejected.
Diagnostic information is transmitted to the OPC UA client. The diagnostic
information includes:
Information about remote reader commands
•
Information on presence of reader
•
Information on presence of transponders
•
Transmission of log entries
•
Definition of the read point via which the log entries are transmitted. The dis-
played names depend on the interface names specified in the "Reader inter-
face" menu.
