OPC Client Checklist v2.0C

Considerations: 
 
The OPC Server you will be communicating with must be compliant with the 1.0 standard as a

Before you begin:
 
1.  Make sure you have properly installed and tested your OPC Server to verify that you do in

2.  Read and review the manuals (GFK-1675 – Section 4-13) / Help Files (Open Interface-

 settings.
Although part of this manual is designed around the Cimplicity HMI OPC Server, it should still
be applicable to most other vendor‟s OPC Servers. DCOM plays a large part in proper
communication between an OPC Client and Server. If these settings are incorrect you may
not be able to properly establish communications.
