IRC5 OPC Server 15 start/stop

RobotStudio
1

I have a question about communication between Robot OPC och Client.
I have InTouch application that communicate with IRC OPC 15 via FSGateway. Windows 7 sp1.

As I see in the windows control panel - IRC 5 OPC is not a service.

  1. How can I start IRC 5 OPC Server ? Is it OPC Client that makes it to start? Which start option for IRC5 OPC should I prefer : inproc or outofproc?

  2. What is meaning with Start/Stop buttons in IRC5 OPC configuration?

  3. Is it possible to make Robot IRC5 OPC “run as service”?
    Thank You.

Hi,

I would recommend you to get in touch with your local ABB Robotics Service office, check http://www.abb.com/contacts. Since you seem to be based in Sweden, you will find the details for your local office at http://www.abb.se/product/ap/seitp327/d4fc82d62e864f20c125762e004cd845.aspx.

Kind regards,

Henrik

Hi Henrik,
Thank You for answer. I have got answer from Support. This Robot OPC server can not be run as Windows service, only as process.
Start/Stop buttons are for restart of OPC server after changes in configuration or start OPC in case of process RobOPC stop.
