Adding ADS devices

ADS devices can be added to the TwinCAT OPC UA Server configuration via the Data Access tab. In the associated DataGrid, create a new device via the context menu.

Set the device-specific parameters in the subsequent dialog.

Selecting an AMS NetID

To select an AMS NetID, either the ADS devices from the local system or the connected TwinCAT OPC UA Server can be selected. An ADS device is a system that has an ADS route to the local system or server system. By clicking on the Local button the local ADS routes are displayed. By clicking the Remote button the ADS routes on the connected TwinCAT OPC UA Server are displayed.

Selecting a symbol file

The selection of a symbol file is always done from the local system. However, the symbol file can be uploaded to the connected TwinCAT OPC UA Server via the Upload button. The symbol file is stored in the subfolder "symbolfiles" of the TwinCAT OPC UA Server home directory and automatically referenced via a placeholder in the configuration file.
