This topic describes the configuration of the program D2000 OPCServer for both the server part and client part.
It is possible to manually install D2000 OPC Server within an existing D2000 installation or to install it using an external installer.
Manual installation
The D2000 OPC Server must first be registered in Windows as an OPC server. Registration is done from the command line. The D2000 OPC Server registers by default as Ipesoft.D2000.OPCSserver.opcserver.
This name can be modified (e.g. if it is necessary to register several D2000 OPC Servers in parallel on one communication server, each of which is connected to a different D2000 Server and can be of a different version). In this case, the opcserver.exe program must be copied under a different name (e.g. myprogram.exe) and such a renamed D2000 OPC Server will be registered under the name Ipesoft.D2000.OPCSserver.myprogram.
The procedure for manual installation is as follows:
- Optional step (if the default name Ipesoft.D2000.OPCSserver.opcserver is not acceptable): copy opcserver.exe under a different name (e.g. myprogram.exe). The copied program should be located in the same subdirectory (bin or bin64) of the D2000 installation directory as the original opcserver.exe.
- Starting the OPC server registration: starting the program with the parameter -RegServer e.g.
opcserver.exe -RegServer
or, if step 1 has been performed, running the copied program, e.g.
myprogram.exe -RegServer - It is now possible to run the Windows utility dcomcnfg (Component Services) and verify that the Ipesoft D2000 OPC Server is registered (selected item in the image):
- Then continue creating the D2000 user, which is described in the Configuration chapter.
