into the device.

2. In the Configurator menu go to Settings Project settings …. This opens the project
settings dialog on the tab General as shown in Figure 161.

4. Click OK.
5. Downloading the configuration also makes the OPC server on the device available as a
COM OPC server through the local bridge.
9.3.3 Export OPC Servers for another PC
If the bridge software is not installed locally on the same PC where the L-INX configuration
is created, it must be exported to make the OPC server information available. The exported
file can then be transferred to the OPC bridge.
To Export the Bridge Configuration
