Operation

About this section

This section describes the basic operation procedures you can carry out after the server
has been configured.
After this, you can, for example, monitor and control network connections. This is done
by using the Online diagnostics function in Communication Engineering Tool (CET).

Activating Gateway with new configurations

After the configurable objects in the object tree have been created, the configurations
must be transferred to the COM600 computer: This is done by using the Gateway Man-
agement function.
•
To open the Gateway Management function, right-click the Gateway object in
Communication Engineering Tool (CET) and select Management.
• To copy the configurations of all servers and clients to the COM600 computer, click
Update configuration.
• To transfer only the changed configurations and to restart only the changed server
or client with new configurations, click Update & reload configuration.
• To force a complete configuration reset of the COM600, mark the Reset check box
before updating the configuration. All instances of OPC servers and clients will be
recreated in COM600. This normally has to be done only if the same COM600
computer is configured using several engineering computers with different projects,
for example during training or testing.
For more detailed information, see COM600 User's Guide.
