mote Connection’ box and select the station where the server resides.
– If your OPC Client supports a limited number of characters for objects, then
check the “Use short item name” box (names will be limited to 50 charac-
ters).
– Next option concerns the number of items per object, which can be one or
three. If your OPC Client cannot access the OPC item vendor specific prop-
erties (containing command information) and you will handle the item com-
mands with two more separate items, then check the “Use new mode" for
command items.
– Finally, you have to select the multi-state mode, which can be numeric
(threshold) or bit oriented (bit-mask). Default is numeric mode, check the Bit-
mask mode checkbox if you want to change it.
