  • Hi Mike,
     
    Is mirror licensed for the application station you have installed OPC mirror on?
     
    What do you mean by .cfg file, are you referring to “Create Station Configuration File” (DevData.cfg)?
     
    Which OPC service are you referring, OPC Mirror perhaps? Do you have a task tray icon for OPC Mirror?

    Yes I put the license "OPC Mirror 2 Servers" in the PPLUS and after that I assigned it to the APPSTATION (thats the Windows name I gave it to the stattion)

    What do you mean by .cfg file, are you referring to “Create Station Configuration File” (DevData.cfg)?

    Yes, thats the file I mean.

    Which OPC service are you referring, OPC Mirror perhaps? Do you have a task tray icon for OPC Mirror?

    I made right click in the OPC Mirror Tray and select "Start OPC Mirror Service" The system ask me: "Starting OPC Mirror Service will start all enabled pipes, Doyou want to continue?" I select YES but takes a lot of time and says "Startting OPC Service Please Wait", but the service not starts.

  • OK, sounds like you’re on the right track, but before you start OPC mirror, you need to configure the pipes and data item mapping.  Have you done that yet?  Right mouse on the icon and “configure”.
     
    Other things to have ready is the third party OPC server details, how will Mirror connect to the other server and as what user?  Have you established a link to the other OPC server?  Try browsing using OPCWatchit and pointing to the other OPCServer.
     
    Hope this helps.

    Adrian Thank you so much for the support,

    I will try to connect the Deltav OPC with the Tank master OPC, I have installed Tank master and after I installed the OPC Mirror, maybe I should uninstall the Tank master?

    I have unistalled a re-installed many times the OPC Mirror but unfortunately the same results, I have a doubt when I'm installing the OPC Mirror the system askme "If you are on deltav system you must specify the deltav account, if the account is not currently a DeltaV account, you can create the deltav accvount in the deltav user manager", for this issue I was using:

    Name: ADMINISTRATOR

    Password: deltav

    and

    Name: Administrator

    Password: deltav

    but it doesn't work with this two loggings.
