Configuring Connections

Meaning
During operation, configured connections are established either implicitly or on
request, depending on the parameter assignment. They are then available to the
OPC Server or the PC application for communication.
General Rules
Regardless of the application type, the general rules for connection configuration
apply:
S Communication connections are always assigned to an application.
S In the PC station, the CP that supports the type of connection is used for the
data transfer.
S If there is more than one CP with this capability, you can use Routing to select
the transmission path.
1 Select the application to which you want to assign a connection.
2 Enter the desired connection type. You will be requested to specify the negotiating
partner.
