Creating a New Configuration

 

You must first create a database in which your configuration can be stored:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, select Programs (x86) > ICONICS Modbus OPC Server 3.6 > ModbusOPCConfigurator.

  2. This opens the Configurator, as shown in the figure below. The screen consists of a split window with a tree control view in the left-hand pane and a configuration view in the right-hand pane. The Configurator provides a standard format for the configuration database, as well as a sample (default) configuration project. The Configurator also includes a toolbar and menus with many command functions.
