NameDescriptionScopeUnitDefaultNotes
OPC.GroupAddressType

Description

It defines

Specifies the format that is used to map KNX group addresses to server item IDs. 2Level - uses the two-level KNX group address format 3Level - uses the three-level KNX group address format.

Scope

2level, 3level

Unit

None

Default value

3level

 

...

Warning

In contrast to defined parameter within the studio, this has a crucial influence on the structure of all server item IDs.

The following examples represent the same KNX datapoint:

  • OPC.GroupAddressType: 2Level -> ITEM ID = "NETx\XIO\KNX\192.168.1.1\00/0513"
  • OPC.GroupAddressType: 3Level -> ITEM ID = "NETx\XIO\KNX\192.168.1.1\00/2/001"

  • ON
- defines that

  • OFF
- defines that
  • : the item IDs of KNX group addresses do not contain leading "0"-characters

Scope

None

Default value

ON

OPC.AsyncRefreshFromDevice

Description

It specifies

Specifies whether the response data of the asynchronous OPC value refresh queries ("REFRESH") shall be read from the server's data base

,

or

whether it shall

directly be retrieved from the field device.

  • ON - the field devices are queried
  • OFF - the values are read from the server's data base

OPC.AsyncWriteConfirmation

...

Description

...

It specifies whether the response data of the asynchronous OPC value write queries ("WRITE") shall be read from the server's data base, or whether it shall directly be retrieved from the field device. ON - the field devices are queried OFF - the values are read from the server's data base

DEPRECATED PARAMETERS – Will be removed in future releases.
OPC.RefreshOnEqualValue

Description

Specifies whether OPC "OnDataChange" events are generated by incoming values from the field level even if the values are unchanged.

  • ON - the "OnDataChange" of events will be generated
  • OFF - the "OnDataChange" of events will be generated only with changes of
value

Scope

ON, OFF

Unit

None

Default
  • value
ON

 

Example:
If the server receives two KNX telegrams with same value and same address (IP + KNX group address) and the option "OPC.RefreshOnEqualValue" is set to "OFF", the OPC "OnDataChange" event is generated only for the first telegram, since the second telegram does not cause a change of value of the datapoint. If this option is set on "ON", then two OPC "OnDataChange" events are generated.
