Search and Add Devices
OWMT-SOFT-OPC will display the "Add Wireless Device" screen. Devices already
in the OWMT-SOFT-OPC.ini file are displayed in the top portion of the screen.
Follow the setup procedure to add more devices.
The setup screen is the method by which OWMT-SOFT-OPC acquires wireless
d
evices. The d
e
fault on the setup screen is to accept only packets that are sent in
service mode from the device (the packet is sent by pressing the service button on the
device.) To change this default, uncheck the "Service Mode Only" checkbox.
OWMT-SOFT-OPC will then display all the packets it receives. When OWMT-
SOFT-OPC receives a packet from a new device, it names the device following the
naming conventions detailed below, and it displays the device's name and serial
number in the window.
You have several options after the device has been displayed. The "Clear New"
button will clear all the devices that have just been received. The "Delete" button
will delete a single device. Click on a device to select it and click on "Delete" to
delete it. To edit a device, click on the device to select it and click on "Edit" to edit
the device. There is also a "Stop" button. If you click that button, OWMT-SOFT-
OPC will stop listing devices in the window. When you click on the "Stop" button, it
becomes a "Receive" button. If you click on that, OWMT-SOFT-OPC will start
receiving packets and listing devices again.
When you are ready, hit "OK", or "Cancel" to exit.
Edit Device
The Edit screen for a new RF device shows the device's serial number, which the
user cannot change, the device's current Label, which can be changed by the user,
and the Transmit Rate for the device. The Label cannot be the same as the label used
by any current device. The Transmit Rate is in seconds. The default value is 60.
OWMT-SOFT-OPC uses the Transmit Rate to determine if a device has gone offline.
ReConfigure Net
OWMT-SOFT-OPC clears device information from the OWMT-SOFT-OPC.ini
startup file and completes a SearchAdd to build a new device list as if starting for the
first time.
Use caution here
; all changes that you have made manually to the device
information contained in the OWMT-SOFT-OPC.ini file will be deleted and
overwritten. OWMT-SOFT-OPC does not modify the global configuration
parameters contained in the sections Server and Logging of the OWMT-SOFT-
OPC.ini file.
