MODBUS OPC Server
VERSION 3.13
January, 2007
=========================================================================
============================================================
New features and issues (mainly bug fixs) in version 3.11
============================================================
- Made the COPCEventCategory::RegisterEventAttribute method an interface method,
so that it can be accessed from related objects.
- Fixed "NamesCaseSensitive" problem. Added IOPCTKAddressSpace::OnCreateAddressSpace
method - implemented on COPCAddressSpace, on COPCMemoryAS, and possibly also in
server's specialization of this method (e.g. for Modbus servers). Removed
FinalConstruct method from these classes, and moved the code from FinalConstruct
into the OnCreateAddressSpace.
- Removed an input parameter (IOPCTKMemoryNode*) from IOPCTKTag::OnConfigurationChanged(),
IOPCTKScanner::OnLeafConfigurationChanged, IOPCTKMemoryBranch::SetTagOnLeafConfigurationChanged,
and IOPCTKMemoryLeaf::SetTagOnLeafConfigurationChanged methods.
- Added COPCSubscription::FlushItemCacheMap method.
- Fixed a memory leak on COPCSubscription (sometimes not properly clearing variants in m_ItemCacheMap).
- Changed COPCTag/COPCMemoryTag refreshing mechanism to utilize the SequenceIDs. Removed
these methods that are now obsolete: IOPCTKMemoryBranch::SetTagOnLeafConfigurationChanged,
IOPCTKMemoryLeaf::SetTagOnLeafConfigurationChanged, IOPCTKScanner::OnLeafConfigurationChanged,
IOPCTKTag::OnLeafConfigurationChanged.
- Changed default values for filters' and item names' NamesCaseSensitive switches
(COPCComponent::m_NamesCaseSensitive, COPCEventSubscription::m_FilterCaseSensitive)
(COPCAddressSpace::m_NamesCaseSensitive, COPCAddressSpace::m_FilterCaseSensitive)
- Changed default value for "DebugWatchEnable" switch (COPCComponent, CWatch classes).
- Changed default value for "DebugWatchEnable" and "NamesCaseSensitive" switches also in
OPCAdmin application.
- Manual Value parameter can now be an array.
- Added WriteAutoUpdateCache registry setting. Based on the setting a tag object will
(or will not) automatically update its cache after a successful write operation.
The default value is FALSE (no automatic update) as the automatic update can inflict
the value of the tag to oscilate several times (some devices, even after successful write
action, are still giving the "old" value for some more time).
(#140***)
- Fixed a bug in COPCItem::UpdateCache (if there was an item set as Manual, but with
Manual Value not specified, servers were sending updates to OPC clients).
- Fixed a bug in COPCItem::UpdateCache (if there was an item set as Manual, but with
Manual Value not specified, servers were sending updates to OPC clients).
More carefully evaluating the ExceptionLimitExceeded call return value.
(#14169)
- Changes an implementation of 'NamesCaseSensitive' switch. Now not converting item
names to uppercase (when NamesCaseSensitive is FALSE, i.e. default), but using
different map's "less" operator implementation (faster code, better implementation).
(#14182)
- Fixed a possible problem in CThreadScheduler::TimeChangeDetected() method.
In case a system time was set backwards, tasks in the ThreadScheduler wouldn't be
executed until a system time comes up to the previous value.
(#14212)
- Fixed a case when a simulation signal is changed/set/reset while a tag is being
monitored. Also fixed a case when 'simulated' attribute is set to True,
but no simulation signal is set (returning OPC_QUALITY_CONFIG_ERROR bad quality).
(#14221)
- Changed COPCTag/COPCMemoryTag refreshing mechanism. Made Refresh() method an interface
method. The IOPCTKTag::Refresh() is now called from COPCReadOperation and
COPCWriteOperation objetcs before any ExecuteDeviceRead() or ExecuteDeviceWrite()
method to refresh the state of the tag.
(#14163)
- COPCComponent::GetVersionInfo -> 3.11.0000

Introduction
============================================================
The ICONICS Modbus OPC Server is an OPC compliant Server able to communicate with real
time I/O device and serve data to OPC clients. This Modbus OPC servers was implemented
using advanced programming concepts of the most current version of the OPC specification
(Version 2.0) for use in developing next generation industrial software
applications.
The ICONICS Modbus OPC Server communicates with OPC clients and real time Modbus RTU
and ASCII I/O devices. This Modbus OPC server is based on the popular Modbus protocol
and can be connected to real world Modbus compatible I/O hardware. The Modbus OPC
Server/Client is an ideal way to learn about the new emerging OPC standard and can
also be used to test other OPC compliant Clients.

However, if using Internet Explorer 3.0, DCOM is not provided and can be
downloaded from Microsoft.com
============================================================
Running the Sample OPC Client
============================================================
The OPC Client is used as a test case to debug an OPC Compliant Server and access
various some of the OPC variables and parameter configuration.
- Start the OPC Client.
- From the OPC menu, Choose Connect. The OPC Server menu appears showing all registered
OPC servers.
- From the OPC menu, choose Server Status to view the Modbus Server status window.
============================================================
How the client connects to and gets data from a server
============================================================
When OPC servers are installed on the system, they are registered so that clients can
find them and users can view them in a list. To make a client/server connection, user
must first choose a server. The server name selected (for example, "ICONICS.ModbusOPCServer")
is used to get a class ID which, in turn, is used to create a COM object. If the user
selects a server that is not currently running, the system starts the server and then
creates the object in that server on behalf of the client.
Once the COM object is created, the client application has an IOPCServer interface,
as defined in the OPC specification. This is the main interface to the OPC server and
this document refers to this as a Server interface. (The other interface is Group.)
This OPC client always creates a group and registers an advise interface with it to get
asynchronous data notification.
When an item is added, the dialog displays either a hierarchy or a flat list of names,
depending on the server. The names are queried from the Server object using the filter
string and requested data type. When the user either types or selects a name, an item
of that name is added to the Group object. This item is also read immediately to get
an initial value.
Items in a group are scanned by the server; when their values change, the advise
interface in the client is notified. A data structure containing the data for each
item whose value or quality has changed (and only those items) is passed to the
client's advise interface. The client unpacks and uses (displays) the data.
============================================================
Server status and Group parameters
============================================================
The Server status dialog periodically queries the Server object for status and displays
the results. The Group Parameters dialog queries the group state and displays the results.
The OK or Apply buttons in the Group Parameters dialog box write the parameters from the
dialog to the Group object and read the parameters back. This primarily controls the
scanning and updating of data. When a group is inactive, it does not send data notifications
to the client and, typically there is no reason to scan the items when the group is inactive.
The Update Rate in the Group Parameters dialog box specifies the rate at which data notifications
should be sent back to the client, assuming that data has changed. This is also the rate at
which items are scanned on behalf of this client.
To write a value to an item, select the item in the OPC Client windows and choose
Writer Value to Item from the OPC menu, The client writes the value typed in the Write
Item Value dialog box to the correct item in the Group object. The method of writing data
is determined by the "Asynchronous" checkbox. When data is written synchronously, the call
to the server blocks until the operation has completed, which may take a long time. When
data is written asynchronously, the call to the server returns quickly and the operation is
carried out on another thread. When the write has finished, the client's advise interface is
notified with the results.
The user can disconnect from the selected server by choosing Disconnect from the OPC menu.
The Disconnect command unregisters the advise interface, releases the Group object, and
then releases the Server object. Releasing an object means that the client is no longer
interested in the object, so the system can delete the object in the server.
