been exported and click OK.

The OPC bridge configuration can also be edited manually. The same procedure is also
applicable to verify imported OPC server definitions in the bridge software. After adding a
server definition in the bridge software, the device‘s OPC server will be available as a COM
OPC server through the bridge.
