Configuration File
When you install the PROFInet OPC Server for SIMATIC NET, a configuration file
is installed. For special adaptations, it may be necessary to modify the factory
settings contained in the configuration file.
Structure
The configuration file of the OPC Server is structured in the same way as an “ini”
file of Windows; in other words, a text file with the extension “txt”.
The individual sections are labeled with section names. Each section name is set in
square brackets ( [ ] ).
Following the section name, there are assignments of the type “parameter=value”.
Comments within the file are preceded by a semicolon.
The configuration file begins with a section for general protocol definition.
These are followed by sections for the parameter assignment of the connections to
the configured communications partners. They contain the IP address and the
PROFInet device name.
Storage location
The configuration file is stored in the protocol-specific binary directory. A
user-specific storage location is also possible:
<installationpath>\OPC2\binPN\SCorePN.txt
Default Installation Path:
C:\Programs\Siemens\SIMATIC.NET\opc2\binPN
