General Drivers for RTD Collector

OPC DA

OPC DA protocol driver is to connect and collect data from devices that communicate based on OPC DA protocol, a standard protocol for industrial communication that enables efficient interconnection of heterogeneous systems.

Adding Source

  1. Click Add on Source page to expand source information.
  2. Enter source name and description, and select OPC DA for driver name. The system expands the information that needs to be entered for this driver according to the selected driver.
    ParameterDefinitionDescription
    Breakage ReconnectionThe reconnection mode when OPC Client and OPC Server are disconnected.

    Reconnect: Reconnect only when OPC server is disconnected abnormally.

    Never reconnect: OPC server does not reconnect after disconnection.

    Always Reconnect: Reconnects when the OPC server is abnormally disconnected or normally exits.

    Reconnection IntervalThe time interval between two connectionsSelectable from 30, 60, 120, 300, 600, in seconds
    Quality CodeUser-defined quality code

    One or more user-defined quality codes can be entered; if there are more than one, the different quality codes are separated by a slash. Such as 192, 192/216, 192/111/160, etc.

    If the quality code sent to the collector from OPC Server is among the above custom quality codes, the status code of the attribute value in the object instance will be displayed as 0 after it is sent to supOS from the collector.

    If the quality code sent by OPC Server is different from that defined on the collector, for example, the collector quality code is customized to 192, and the quality code actually sent to the collector is 111, then the status code of the property value in supOS object instance is 200000000000000, representing abnormal data quality.

    Clock SourceTimestamps used for data updates
    • Local time: the timestamp of real-time data is computer time where the collector is located.

    • OPC server time: the timestamp of the real-time data is the time on the computer where the OPC server is located.
    Request DelayRequest delay time
    • Local time: the timestamp of real-time data is the time on the computer where the collector is located.
    • OPC server time: the timestamp of the real-time data is the time on the computer where the OPC server is located.
    Authorization SettingsOPC UA server authorization
    • If OPC UA server does not set user name and password, select anonymous to connect.
    • If OPC UA server sets user name and password, you need to enter the corresponding user name and password.
    Security SettingsEncrypted data transmission is supported between the collector and OPC UA server, and the encryption methods are None (no encryption), Sign, Sign & Encrypt.
    Security ModeSet OPC UA driver encryption mode

    When the security mode is None, there is no need to select a security policy.

    Other encryption methods can choose 4 security policies: Basic256, Basic128Rsa15, Basic256Sha256, Aes128Sha256RsaOaep.

    Update SpeedUpdate speed of tag valueConfigure update rate. (range: 100-5000ms)

    DCOM Username/DCOM PasswordDCOM username and password of OPC serverIf the OPC server login account is different from the collector server login account, you need to configure the DCOM username and password of the OPC server.
    Redundancy ConfigurationWhether to start redundant OPC Server

    The collector supports reading data from the redundant OPC Server.

    The collector can communicate with the redundant OPC server. When one OPC Server fails, it automatically switches to the non-failed OPC Server to continue communication. When both the master and slave OPC server fail, communication with the OPC Server is interrupted; and when one of them returns to normal, communication is automatically restored.

    The items to be configured are the same as the master OPC Server.

  4. Select the reconnection interval to be 30s.
  5. Enter custom quality code.
  6. Select local time for clock source.
  7. Set the request delay as 5s.
  8. Set the update speed to 1000ms.
  9. Click Configure following OPC server and unfold the information that need to be entered for OPC server.

    a. You need to enter the IP address of OPC server that you need to connect to. For example, 10.13.156.21

    b. If the login accounts of OPC server and collector server are different, you need to enter the DCOM username and password of OPC server.

    Click Refresh List following the OPC service address.

    The corresponding OPC DA service list is automatically displayed in the OPC Server path after refresh. Select the required service among them.

    Electric Energy Pulse , the optional parameters are 160 to 223, and 160 means the data of electricity 0.

    When Type is

    SOE, the optional parameters are 128 and 129, which indicates the return results corresponding to 80H and 81H, both of which are currently returned.
  • Sequence Number:

    When Type is

    Telemetry, the optional parameters are 0 and 1, indicating the data for the corresponding column.

    When

    Type is Teleignalling, The optional parameters are 0 to 31. 0 means the first line of data of each group; for example, the function code is 241, and the sequence number is 0 corresponding to the first line of data of the second group, i.e., the 32nd line of data (starting from the 0th line).

    When

    Type isElectric Energy Pulse , the optional parameter is 0.
