After migrating the project successfully, the following changes can be observed in Boards, Ports, and I/O Devices grid for the migrated SCADA project.
Note: You can modify or delete all the configurations manually.
Boards
The existing ABCLX boards are not modified. For each server, an OPCLX board is created. The board name for the first server is OPCLX_BOARD1and that for the second server it is OPCLX_BOARD2 and so on.
Below table describes different field names for a Board and corresponding changes observed.
|
Field |
Value |
|---|---|
|
Board Type |
A new board with type set to OPCLX is created. The earlier boards also exist and you can delete if required. |
|
Address |
The value of this field is set to 0 by default. You can manually enter it. |
|
I/O Port |
The value of this field is deleted. |
|
Interrupt |
The value of this field is deleted. |
|
Special Options |
The value of this field is deleted. |
Ports
New ports are created. Number of ports is equal to the number of devices selected in the migration form. By default the port name for the devices is OPCLX1_PORT1and that for the second device is OPCLX1_Port2 and so on. If OPCLX1_Port1 is created, then Port1 is created for OPCLX1 board. Based on the number of I/O devices selected for that board, equal number of ports are created. Similarly if multiple I/O devices are selected across multiple boards, then multiple ports are created for each board.
Below table describes different field names of the Ports and corresponding changes observed.
|
Field |
Value |
|---|---|
|
Board Name |
The board name is the same as the new board of type OPCLX that is created. |
|
Server Name |
The server name of the selected device. |
|
Baud Rate |
The value of this field is deleted. |
|
Data Bits |
The value of this field is deleted. |
|
Stop Bits |
The value of this field is deleted. |
|
Parity |
The value of this field is deleted. |
|
Special Options |
