Saving cold retain values
From the
OPC Server Configuration Panel, open the Save cold retain values dialog
box by selecting
Tools > Save cold retain values...
To set automatically
saved cold retain values, select the option “Automatically”, and
set an interval time (recommended every 720 minutes).
To configure offset time for the set interval, set an offset time (recommended value
is 0 minutes).
By setting
offset time, you can reduce controller load while running redundant OPC
Servers. In a redundant configuration, one of the OPC
Servers should have offset
time set to zero and the other as 360. This setting avoids the situation where two
OPC servers fetch cold retain values from the controllers at the same time.
