A user interface called the
PowerTool for configuring channels, devices, and datablocks. Statistical communications data is
provided for throughput analysis at each level. |
| 2 |
The PowerTool has a built-in
datascope for checking communications
messages. The PowerTool also
has context sensitive help. |
| 3 |
Direct, Radio, and Telephone
communication modes. |
| 4 |
Automatic reads after a write to
confirm a write. |
| 5 |
Automation Interface - You don't
have to use the Power Tool to configure the driver. You can make your own COM or OLE
application (using Microsoft's Visual Basic) to configure the driver and
access data. |
| 6 |
Secondary Poll Rate - The OPC
Server polls a datablock at the secondary poll rate once the Access Time
expires. Data is polled at
the secondary poll rate until there is another client request for data. If the
secondary poll rate is set for a longer period of time than the Primary
Rate, CPU resources are reduced while ensuring that the datablock will
always be polled. |
| 7 |
Phased Poll Rates |
| 8 |
Enable/Disable individual
communication channels, devices, and datablocks from the automation
interface or your HMI. |
