Solution 2. Register an OPC Server on an OPC Client Machine
About this task
Remote OPC client applications (i.e. client applications that run on a computer node other than the one running the CIMPLICITY OPC Server) do not have to have CIMPLICITY software installed on a remote machine in order to access the CIMPLICITY OPC Server.
If the OPC Client cannot connect to the OPC Server, a solution may be to update the registry on the remote client machine with information specific to the CIMPLICITY OPC Server.
A remote OPC client registry entry file (CIMOPCServerClient.reg) ships with the OPC server. These registry entries will point the OPC client to the CIMPLCITY OPC Server across a network.
CIMOPCServerclient.reg is located in the following directory on the OPC Server:
C:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy CIMPLICITY\dc\OPCServers\Redist
Where
C:\Program Files\Proficy\Proficy CIMPLICITY... is the default location on the CIMPLICITY server.
