OPC Portal Server to Match Your AADvance Workbench Project

The configuration of the OPC Portal Server needs to accurately reflect the contents of
the application which is running on the AADvance controllers. When you build or
rebuild a project, the AADvance Workbench application automatically launches the
OPC Server Configuration Wizard to prompt you to configure the OPC Portal
Server.

You may need to configure the OPC Portal Server to suit an existing AADvance
Workbench project which is already built. You can run the wizard manually to do this.

Build or Rebuild a Project

Note: Before you begin this task, you must have installed the OPC Portal Server and
rebooted the computer.

The Workbench application prompts you to configure the OPC Portal Server when
you build or rebuild a project. Do the following:

Click the Build or Rebuild button within the AADvance Workbench

application.

A Start ConfigGen Tool message appears.

You can suppress this message for your current AADvance Workbench session.

To do this, put a tick in the box labelled Don't Ask Again.
