5.1.3 Find OPC drives
Once GDC has been configured as an OPC client, you can search online to find the drives connected
to the OPC bus server:
1. If GDC is still in offline mode, click OptionsWOnline or press function key <F4> to change to
online mode.
2. Go to ControllerWSearch... or press function key <F2>, to open the dialog box Find OPC
drives :
3. Click the button Search to start searching or click Cancel to abort.
– Once the search is completed the controllers found are listed in the window "Drives
connected to bus".
Note!
· GDC automatically tries to allocate device descriptions to the drive controllers found.
– If only one drive was found and a device description could be allocated, the device
description is loaded immediately.
– If automatic allocation of the device description for a drive fails, the device description for
the drive can be allocated manually.
Select the corresponding controller in the window "Drives connected to bus" or click
ControllerWSelect... to open the dialog for manual allocation.
· Use the command ControllerWCommunication parameters... to display the OPC access path
(e.g. COM1.Device_01) in text field Access path of the dialog box Current drive.
