Overview
The OPC Quick Client assists in the testing and development of the OPC Data Access 1.0 and 2.0 servers. It
supports both local and remote OPC server connections. Remote connections are handled through the
operating system's DCOM interface.

Note: The OPC Quick Client does not fully support OPC DA 3.0. This help file assumes the use of Windows XP
or Server 2003. Service Pack 4 is recommended.

Client Preparation
For information on how to prepare the client, follow the instructions below.

1. To start, create a server connection (which will be used to connect to an OPC server).

2. Next, add a group to the connection that contains varying properties (such as update rate, dead band
and time bias).

3. Add items to the individual groups. The groups contain properties such as an initial active state, data
type, and access path.

Note: Active items will automatically receive data change notifications. The current value and quality will be
displayed in the Item View.

Group
A group is used to organize a collection of items with a common set of properties. The group also specifies
several properties, such as group name, update rate, time bias, percent dead band, Language ID, active
state, and the data connection type (among others). To create a new group, click Edit | New Group.
Alternatively, click New Group in the toolbar.

General

Descriptions of the parameters are as follows:

l Name: This parameter specifies a name that will identify the group. If it is left empty, the OPC server
will generate a unique name.
l Update Rate: This parameter specifies how often the OPC server will provide updates for changing
data. The default setting is 1000 milliseconds.
l Time Bias: This parameter specifies the time difference between the client/server and the actual
device. The information allows the client to convert the timestamp received by the server back to the
local time of the device. The default setting is 0 minutes.
l Percent Dead Band: This parameter specifies the percent change in data required to notify the
client of a data change. When scaling is enabled for the item, the required data change will be
calculated using the scaled range. When scaling is not enabled for the item, the required data change
will be calculated using the full range of the specified data type. The default setting is 0.
l Language ID: This parameter specifies the language that will be used by the server when returning
values as text for operations on this group.
l Update Notification: This parameter specifies the method to be used when receiving data change
notifications or initiating asynchronous requests. Valid selections are OPC 1.0 (No Timestamp), OPC
1.0 (With Timestamp) and OPC 2.0/3.0. Data Access 2.0/3.0 servers automatically supply timestamps
with all data transactions.

Operations
The OPC Quick Client performs operations on an OPC server at the Server, Group, and Item level. This allows
users to test the functionality of an OPC server.

Server Operations
Connect
To establish a connection to the server, click Tools | Server and then select Connect. All groups and items
will be added.

Disconnect
To disconnect from the server, click Tools | Server and then select Disconnect.

Reconnect
To re-establish a connection to the server, click Tools | Server and then select Reconnect.

Get Error String


To obtain an error description for any valid error codes, click Tools | Server and then select Get Error
String.

Note: To request an error description from the server, enter the error code and then press Apply. If the
server can translate the error code, the description will appear. An OPC server should be able to translate
any OPC error code, in addition to Win32 errors.

This operation tests the following server functionality: IOPCServer::GetErrorString ( ).

Enumerate Groups
To enumerate groups available to the server connection, click Tools | Server and then select Enumerate
Groups.

www. kepware.com
OPC Quick Client 15

Note: The server can be requested to enumerate groups by name or by object. When enumerating by
name, the server passes back an enumeration of strings each containing the name of a group. When
enumerating by object, the server passes back an enumeration of group interface pointers (IUnknown),
which the client can make use of by querying for other interfaces. Either way, the client uses both
mechanisms to obtain the same results: a list of group names along with the properties of each group. The
client can request that only private groups (groups this client added to the server connection), public groups
(groups that may have been added by another client, but are made available) or all groups be enumerated.

This operation tests the following server functionality: IOPCServer::CreateGroupEnumerator ( ).,


IOPCServer::GetGroupByName ( ), IOPCGroupStateMgt::GetState ( ).

Get Group By Name


To obtain group properties by name, click Tools | Server and then select Get Group By Name.

www. kepware.com
16 OPC Quick Client

Note: To request group properties by name, enter the name of the group and then press Apply. If the
server can resolve the group name, the client will proceed to obtain the properties for that group.

This operation tests the following server functionality: IOPCServer::GetGroupByName ( ),


IOPCGroupStateMgt::GetState ( ).

Auto Create Tags


To automatically create tags from the connected OPC server, click Tools | Server and then select Auto
Create Tags. For more information, refer to Options.

Group Operations
Clone Group
To clone the selected group, click Tools | Group and then select Clone Group. The OPC server should
create a new group with a unique name and with identical properties to the group that is being cloned. If the
cloned group contains items, those items should also be cloned. The state of the cloned group and items
should be set to inactive.

This operation tests the following server functionality: IOPCGroupStateMgt::CloneGroup, SetState ( ),


IOPCItemMgt::CreateEnumerator, SetClientHandles ( ), IEnumOPCItemAttributes::Reset, Next ( ).

Asynchronous Refresh (Cache/Device)


To perform an asynchronous refresh from cache/device on the selected items, click Tools | Group and then
select Asynchronous 1.0/2.0 Cache Refresh or Asynchronous 1.0/2.0 Device Refresh. Refreshes done
using 1.0 use IAdviseSink to return refresh notifications. Refreshes done using 2.0 use connection points to
exchange data between client and server.

www. kepware.com
OPC Quick Client 17

Item Operations
Set Active/Inactive
To activate/inactivate the selected item(s), click Tools | Item and then select Set Active | Inactive. Only
active items should receive on data change updates.

Note: The group must be set to active.

Synchronous Read (Cache/Device)


To perform a synchronous read from the cache/device on the selected items, click Tools | Item and then
select Synchronous Cache Read or Synchronous Device Read.

Asynchronous Read (Cache/Device)


To perform an asynchronous read from the cache/device on the selected items, click Tools | Item and then
select Asynchronous 1.0/2.0 Cache Read or Asynchronous 1.0/2.0 Device Read. Reads done using 1.0
use IAdviseSink to return read complete notifications. Reads done using 2.0 use connection points to
exchange data between the client and server.

Synchronous/Asynchronous Write
To perform a synchronous/asynchronous write on the selected items, click Tools | Item and then select
Synchronous Write or Asynchronous 1.0/2.0 Write.

Note: Both types of writes utilize the same dialog. The dialog displays the current value at a 100 millisecond
refresh rate. To send the data to the server, enter the data to write in the Write Value column and then press
Apply. To apply the write and close the dialog, click OK. To abort the operation, click Cancel.

Options
The OPC Quick Client is used to configure many settings. To open the Options dialog, click Tools | Options.

18 OPC Quick Client

Descriptions of the parameters are as follows:

l Automatically Build a Client Project When Launched by the Server: When checked, the OPC
Quick Client will automatically build a client project with all the tags in the OPC server when it is
launched from the OPC server. The default setting is checked.
l Ignore Browse Paths Containing Leading Underscores When Auto-Building: When checked,
items that belong to browse path segments beginning with an underscore will not be included in
automatically built projects. These paths may include system or internal device tags. The default
setting is unchecked (all available items will be included in the project).
l Prompt to Save Project on Exit: When checked, users will be prompted to save the project before
exiting the application. The default setting is checked.
l Default Group Update Rate (ms): This parameter specifies the default update rate for
automatically generated groups. The update rate determines how often the OPC server will provide
updates for changing data. The default setting is 1000 milliseconds. For more information, refer to
Group.
l Auto-Generated Group Name Depth: This field specifies the depth level for names of automatically
generated groups. The default setting is 3. For more information, refer to "Group Name Depth"
below.
l Show hexadecimal value for floating point numbers: When enabled, this option will affect how
floating point numbers are displayed and written.

l In terms of display, this option causes Float or Double data types to display the floating point
number in addition to the hexadecimal value. For example, "12.34 (0X414570A4)".
l In terms of writing, this option allows hexadecimal values to be written for Float and Double
data types. The hexadecimal value should be in the form "0x12345678" for Floats (8 digits)
and "0x123456789ABCDEF1" for Doubles (16 digits). Inputs that are not in a hexadecimal
format will be treated as normal floating point inputs.

l Use DCOM for remote security: When checked, the OPC Quick Client, opens on next launch with
system-level DCOM security settings. When unchecked, the OPC Quick Client opens with “wide-open”
DCOM security settings. The default is unchecked.

Note: This option will also increase the Floating Point Precision to 17.

Group Name Depth

www. kepware.com
OPC Quick Client 19

The higher the group name depth, the more sub-groups that will be created. For example, tags structured
like "Channel1.Device1.Tag1" and "Channel1.Device1.Group1.Tag1" in OPC server will be added differently
in OPC Quick Client depending on the Group Name depth setting.

Depth Level Description


1 The group "Channel1" (name depth: 1) will be created. Both tags will be added to this
group.
2 The group "Channel1.Device1" (name depth: 2) will be created. Both tags will be added
to this group.
3 The group "Channel1.Device1" (name depth: 3. Tag names do not form a part of the
group name) will be created. The tag "Channel.Device1.Tag1" will be added to this
group.

The group "Channel1.Device1.Group1" (name depth: 3) will be created. The tag


"Channel.Device1.Group1.Tag1" will be added to this group.

Note: The maximum allowed group name depth is 3. In the example above, if there were any more sub-
groups inside Group1, they would be added to the OPC Quick Client group "Channel1.Device1.Group1".

www. kepware.com
20 OPC Quick Client

Test Mode
The OPC Quick Client Test Mode includes both functional and performance tests to run on projects. Projects
must contain at least one server connection with one group that contains one item.

Functional Test
Functional tests perform set routines on the project. When enabled, the OPC Quick Client will run the first
test in the selected list for the amount of time specified in the Test Interval parameter (which may be 1 to
360 minutes). Once the interval expires, the client will stop the first test and move onto the next. When the
last test in the list has finished, the client will sit idle for the same interval before repeating the test suite.

Note: Users cannot change the project while the functional test is running.

Test 1 Description
This test simulates an HMI product by treating each group as a panel. The test first sets all items to an
inactive state. Then, it selects the first group in the list, sets all of the group's items active, and receives data
updates for approximately 5 seconds. After the 5 second period, the active items are set to an inactive state
and the test proceeds to the next group. The procedure continues cycling through all the groups and starting
over when the last group is complete.

www. kepware.com
OPC Quick Client 21

Test 2 Description
This test performs read, write, and refresh operations on active and inactive items. The test first sets all
items to an inactive state. Then, it proceeds through the following sequence:

1. Select the next group in the list.

2. Perform a synchronous read from device for all items (all group items are active).

3. Perform a synchronous write to all items (all group items are active).

4. Perform a synchronous read from device for all items (all group items are inactive).

5. Perform a synchronous write to all items (all group items are inactive).

6. Perform an asynchronous read from device for all items (all group items are active).

7. Perform an asynchronous write to all items (all group items are active).

8. Perform an asynchronous read from device for all items (all group items are inactive).

9. Perform an asynchronous write to all items (all group items are inactive).

10. Perform an asynchronous refresh from device (all group items are active).

The sequence will repeat until the test interval time is reached.

Test 3 Description
This test duplicates Test 2, except all operations are done from cache instead of device.

Test 4 Description
This test performs synchronous read and write operations on active items. The test first sets all items in the
project to an active state. Then, it performs a synchronous write every 2 seconds and a synchronous read
from device every 5 seconds. If there is more than one group, the test performs 2 writes to 1 read, and then
moves onto the next group.

Test 5 Description
This test duplicates Test 4, except that all operations are done from cache instead of device.

Test 6 Description
This test performs the adding and removal of all items in the project. The test first removes all items in the
project. After a 2 second period the test re-adds all the items in the project. The test continues to transition
between the two states every 2 seconds.

Test 7 Description
This test shows the performance of the server when reading items from cache. The test first activates all
items in the project, which is a requirement for cache reads. Then, it proceeds to the first group in the
project and performs as many synchronous reads as it can in 1 second. The number of items read in 1
second is displayed in the message log. The test continues by selecting the next group and proceeding with
the same tests.

Note: If a group contains multiple items, each synchronous read request includes all the items in one call to
the server.

Test 8 Description
This test activates all items in a project (including all connections and groups). It updates the display window,
pauses for the test interval selected by the user, and then inactivates all items.

www. kepware.com
22 OPC Quick Client

The sequence will complete once per test interval.

Test 9 Description
This test activates all items in a project (including all connections and groups). It performs a random number
of synchronous writes (between 5 and 100) to all items in a project in the following sequence:

1. Get the first connection, first group.

2. Perform a random number of synchronous writes (between 5 and 100) to each item in the group.

3. Pause for 1 second between each item in the group.

4. Pause for 10 seconds between groups.

5. Repeat for each connection in the project.

The sequence will repeat until the test interval time is reached.

Test 10 Description
This test activates all items in a project (including all connections and groups). It performs an asynchronous
read for all items in a project in the following sequence:

1. Get the first connection, first group.

2. Perform an asynchronous read for all items in the group.

3. Pause for 1 second between each item in the group.

4. Pause for 10 seconds between groups.

5. Repeat for each connection in the project.

The sequence will repeat until the test interval time is reached.

Test 11 Description
This test inactivates all items in a project (including all connections and groups). It performs an
asynchronous read for all items in a project in the following sequence:

1. Get the first connection, first group.

2. Perform an asynchronous read for all items in the group.

3. Pause for 1 second between each item in the group.

4. Pause for 10 seconds between groups.

5. Repeat for each connection in the project.

The sequence will repeat until the test interval time is reached.

Test 12 Description
This test is a server connection stress test. It creates the maximum allowable number of server connections.
In a separate thread for each connection, it automatically creates tags and performs random sync and async
Read and Write requests to all items in all non-system groups. The test will verify that incomplete
transactions are handled correctly when the client disconnects with a transaction pending. After writing to
each non-system group, each thread in Test 12 will close its connection.

The sequence will end when all connections are closed or the test interval time is reached.
