ioLogik Cellular Micro RTU Controller Getting Started
Installing Active OPC Server on a Host that has a Public Static
IP Address
Moxa’s Active OPC Server™ is a software package operating as an OPC driver of an HMI or SCADA system.
It seamlessly connects Moxa’s ioLogik products to a wide variety of SCADA systems, including the most popular:
Wonderware, Citect, and iFix. Active OPC Server™ conforms to the OPC Foundation’s latest data access
standard, DA 3.0, to connect with other standards-compliant devices and host OPC machines. Active OPC
server uses an IP address that is both public and static.
1. To install Active OPC Server, insert the Document and Software CD into the host computer. In the
Software\AOPC directory of the CD, locate and run INSTALL.EXE. The installation program will guide you
through the installation process and install the Active OPC Server utility. The OPC Core Components will be
installed as well. Active OPC Server can be downloaded from the Moxa Website, and may be found from the
support page, www.moxa.com/support/. After downloading the AOPC software, unzip it and run Install.exe.
The installation program will guide you through the installation process and install the Active OPC Server
Utility.
For more details on AOPC installation and use, refer to Chapter 6 or the Active OPC User’s Manual.
2. Start the ioAdmin utility and set up the Active OPC Server IP address on the Active Tags panel. ioAdmin
will prompt you to reboot the ioLogik W5300 after clicking the Update button. Click yes to restart the
ioLogik.
3. Start Active OPC Server; a new ioLogik W5300 will be created.
4. In ioAdmin’s search menu, manually add the IP address for Active OPC Server. The ioLogik W5300 will
appear under Active OPC Server. The ioAdmin search menu is set by default to sort by Active OPC.
5. You can now test and monitor the I/O status in ioAdmin.
Active OPC Server is acting as middleware between the configuration utility (or central
software) and the remote ioLogik W5300 Micro RTU Controllers over the cellular network. To minimize
bandwidth usage, click the
Refresh button manually to retrieve the settings.
