InTouch item names

This section describes how a connected client requests access to items (or attributes) of a particular InTouch data source.

The following is an example of a client/data source connection via Gateway Communication Driver, and its associated item name syntax:

• To access an item in InTouch via Gateway Communication Driver through an OPC client, use the following syntax:

  Establish connection:

  "OI.Gateway.3"

  Reference item:

  "InTouch1.Pump1"

An InTouch data source is a special case of DDE and SuiteLink data source. Gateway Communication Driver always communicates with InTouch using either DDE or SuiteLink.

Items can be added either directly to the InTouch data source object or to its group object.
