Citect Scada 2018 read variables in remote OFS OPC DA

Thomas

Hello,

I have a problem to connect Citect Scada 2018 to a remote OFS (OPC Factory server) on a remote computer.

I already made the differents settings for DCOM communication : on my local machine, if I open OFS Client, and try to connect to the remote OFS Server, the services start correctly and my client can connect to remote server (I can see variables from my M580)

The problem I have is how to create IOServer or how to configure the IO server in Citect Scada to connect to my remote server.

I already created an IO Device and my Citect Scada imported all the variables. But when I map an imported variable on a view and launch the runtime, communication doesn't works and services on the remote computer doesn't start.

Do you have any advice ?

Thank you

Thomas DUSSAUD

  • Hello Thomas, Patrick is correct. You can use the OFSOPC driver only with a local OFS server. For remote OFS server you can use the OPC DA client driver, so create an IO device in your IO server, using the OPC protocol and address the OFS progID, and also add in the OPC board special options the IP or computer name where the OFS server is located.
