PCo and Kepware Server 5.6

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I just installed PCo 2.1.5.1 on my PC with WinXP SP3 for some testing and also installed OPC Kepware Server 5.6 demo with OPC Core Components. Simulator runs on KepServer (sine, randoms etc tags) and built-in OPC Quick client successfully represents items of data accessed from OPC server.

So, I start PCO, add source (from localhost) avoiding to change default settings, add destination (SAP XMII 12.1.5 build 99), add Agent Instance and start it. In Log two records appear:

Date Time, Machine, Thread ID, Process ID, Process Name, Event Type, Source, Message, Stack Trace

16.09.2011 13:28:04,.,6,2944,ust,Error,Host,failed to create ConnectivityAgentProxy,"Input string was not in a correct format.

16.09.2011 13:28:04,.,8,2944,ust,Error,ServiceFaultManager,Manufacturing Fault: REASON = Input string was not in a correct format.

Seems to be PCO donu2019t work?

also XMII can't connect in TagQuery to PCO with error "Connection refused: connect" (Cannot Load Parameter Mode).

At last!

I found it. After some brute-forcing.

It's because of field "Deadband" in Settings tab of Source System. There is "0.0" by default. I've changed it to "0". After that Agent Instance starts successfully!

Where is my reward points?

Your reward 'points' come from the appreciation of moderators like me, and other forum members

Often times a thread goes unresolved or closes without feedback on the resolution, but your post is searchable for others to benefit from in the future.

Maybe something wrong with date format?

Didn't help. I've changed localhost to IP-adress in machine-field (Server tab). In both cases the available servers are displayed (2 strings Kepware Comm Server 5.6 DA 2.05A and DA 3.00). The same result.

Run ipconfig from a command prompt and try it with the explicit IP address?
