OMWT-SOFT-OPC Main Window
Main Window
OMWT-SOFT-OPC displays the number of devices online and offline. It also lists
the devices that are currently offline displaying the name and serial number of the
device. If OMWT-SOFT-OPC is running with TCP/IP receivers, then for each
offline device it will display the node address, name and serial number of the device.
Setup
OWMT-SOFT-OPC simplifies setup by automatically finding, identifying and
beginning to poll devices in a network. OWMT-SOFT-OPC assumes default initial
values. You can easily change these values by editing the OWMT-SOFT-OPC.INI
file with an ASCII text editor. (The installation program for OWMT-SOFT-OPC
Server created a short cut to the OWMT-SOFT-OPC.INI file. Double clicking will
automatically start WordPad or Notepad.) See the section "OWMT-SOFT-OPC
Server .INI File Format".
Change Port
The Change Port submenu allows you to switch to another wireless receiver. When
the Change Port submenu is selected, OWMT-SOFT-OPC displays the Select
Communication Port window. Choose one of the following:
AUTO
- instructs OWMT-SOFT-OPC to search Port Numbers 1 to 4 for
the receiver.
OMWT-REC232-600
– receives RF (wireless) packets
OMWT-XREC-SER
– receives RF (wireless) packets (set at 19200 baud)
OMWT-RECIP
– uses a receiver that uses the TCP/IP protocol to receive
sensor packet data.
When OK is clicked, OWMT-SOFT-OPC tries to initialize the port. For the
OMWT-RECIP, OWMT-SOFT-OPC confirms that the receiver is present. For the
OMWT-REC232-600 and OMWT-XREC-SER, OWMT-SOFT-OPC assumes the
receiver is present. OMWT-XREC-SER must be set to 19200 baud. If OWMT-
SOFT-OPC fails, OWMT-SOFT-OPC displays the OWMT-SOFT-OPC Initializing
Error Window allowing you to retry, select another port or exit OWMT-SOFT-OPC.
If OWMT-SOFT-OPC succeeds, OWMT-SOFT-OPC starts listening for sensor
packets and processes the packet according to the device list in the INI file.
