Tag Generation
Use the web console to create Active OPC (AOPC) tags for the ioLogik E1200 by opening your browser and
navigating to the Active OPC Server Settings page.
Follow these steps to create the tags and send them from the ioLogik E1200 to Active OPC Server:
1. On the AOPC & I/O Settings page, select the Enable Active OPC checkbox and specify the IP address
where the Active OPC Server is installed.
2. Select the I/O channels that need to be created in Active OPC Server.
3. Configure the Heartbeat Interval, if necessary.
NOTE
The Heartbeat Interval can be used to determine the connection status between the ioLogik E1200 and
Active OPC Server, and to ensure that the ioLogik is connected and alive. If the heartbeat interval is set and the
network between the ioLogik E1200 and Active OPC Server is down, Active OPC Server will detect the stopped
heartbeat and the Quality column in the Active OPC will display BAD to indicate the loss of connectivity.
