The debug mode allows you to conveniently add the OPC server elements, to activate the monitoring of the selected elements and to assign the rules.

To activate the debug mode, do the following:

  1. Enable the Intellect debug mode (see Enabling and configuring the debug mode of Intellect software).

  2. Set the 1 value for the Debug parameter (see Registry keys reference guide, for information about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).

    Note

    If there is no Debug parameter, it is necessary to create it.

  3. Restart Intellect to apply the settings.

To add the OPC server elements in debug mode, do the following:

  1. Double left-click the OPC wrapper module icon in the Windows notification tray.
  2. In the window that opens, click the Service button (1).
  3. In the window that opens, expand the tree of elements by left-clicking the OPC server and the device (2).

  4. Set the checkboxes for the required OPC server elements (2).

    Note

    You can set the checkbox for the OPC server or for the device. In the first case, all elements of all OPC server devices will be checked, in the second case, all elements of the selected devices will be checked.

  5. Click Proceed (3).

  6. In the window that opens, set the checkboxes for the OPC server elements that should be added to the equipment tree (4).

  7. The following settings can be applied to the selected OPC server elements:

    1. If it is necessary to monitor the OPC server elements status, set the Monitoring checkbox (5).

      Note

      You can activate the monitoring of the OPC server element states later (see Configure the monitoring of OPC-server elements).

    2. If it is necessary to assign the Data Access rules for the OPC-server elements, select the corresponding rule in the Rule drop-down list (6) (see Configure rules for OPC-server elements of Data Access standard).

    Note

    You can select several OPC server elements at once using the hotkeys, for example:

    "Ctrl" + "a" — selecting all elements.

    "Shift" + left-click on the specified element — selecting all elements starting from the currently selected one to the one specified with the mouse click.

    "Shift" + keyboard arrows "down" or "up" — selecting the elements one by one going up or down from the currently selected one.

  8. Click Apply (7) to add the OPC server elements to the equipment tree.

As a result, the objects that correspond to the OPC server elements, will be created.

Adding the OPC server elements in Debug mode is complete.
