Station Automation COM600 3.5 1MRS757274 External OPC Server User's Manual Example_view_External_OPC.png Figure 3.2-1 Example view of SAB600 The configuration work can basically be divided into two separate tasks: 1. building an object tree, and 2. configuring object properties. For information on how to enable configuring of OPC item paths in the data objects with SAB600 with the OPC Browser tool, see 3.4, OPC Browser tool.
1MRS757274 Station Automation COM600 3.5 External OPC Server User's Manual Object Description External OPC Subnetwork Object representing a physical subnetwork. External OPC IED The IED object presents a physical device in the 3rd party system. External OPC Logical Device (LD) An object representing a group of functions.
Station Automation COM600 3.5 1MRS757274 External OPC Server User's Manual 3.3.2. Adding Gateway object To start building the object tree, add a Gateway object in the Communication structure by selecting the project name, right-click it and select New > Communication > Gate- way.
