Connectivity with Gateway Communication Driver and OPC

Gateway Communication Driver is included with the InTouch HMI. When the InTouch HMI is installed, an InTouch Access Name is created for Gateway Communication Driver, pointing by default to the localhost.

Gateway Communication Driver streamlines OLE for Process Control (OPC) and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) setup, enhancing device integration. OI Server Manager also is included, providing the Operations Control Management Console (OCMC) as an interface for configuring the Gateway Communication Driver and OPC.

Gateway Communication Driver requires configuration using the OCMC. OPC and OPC UA Servers require a separate installation.

You can view the list of all the OPC UA server connections configured in the Gateway Communication Driver present on the same machine. You can create the tags by dragging and dropping the tags from the OPC UA server list to the Model - Tagname pane.
