The Gateway Data Source Hierarchy

Before attempting to configure OI Gateway, determine the hierarchical structure of the data sources you wish to use.The data source configuration part of OI Gateway hierarchy begins under the Configuration branch.

Note: The default name created from adding a hierarchy object is in the format of New_<ObjectName>_###, where <ObjectName> is the name of the object type and ### is a numeric value starting from "000" enumerated sequentially per hierarchy object. The hierarchy object name can contain up to 32 characters. The link name for the OPC items is constructed by assembling the respective object names of the nodes along the hierarchy tree in the logical order, starting from the data source root down to the leaf. Therefore, the link name is always unique.
