Important:

On “Identify”, you must select “The interactive user”.

If you select other user, OPC Server doesn’t run normally.

3.2. Security Setting Logon to Windows XP Professional or later from other computers is done as a Guest user. In addition, logon to Windows XP Professional from users without a password is not allowed.

Therefore, to make a remote connection to OPC server, the above security setting must be changed.

How to change the setting is as follows.

To change the setting, it is necessary to log on as a user with Administrator privilege.

This Setting is on both of OPC Server and OPC Client

Figure 3.9 Local Security Policy Setting (Windows 8.1 / Windows 7/Windows Vista/ Windows Server 2012 R2/Windows Server 2008 R2/ Windows Server 2008)

Important:

Windows XP or later has an internal security function to prevent an intruder break-in. This is done by

limiting the user who accesses a computer through the network as a [Guest] level. When an intruder

tries to enter a computer without privilege by guessing a password to get the privilege, either he fails

or he can obtain only an access level of limited [Guest] level.

However, the above setting changes the internal security of Windows XP or later and this setting

change results in a conventional Windows level security.

Be careful about the operating environment of a machine where OPC server is installed.

3.3. Windows Firewall Windows XP Service Pack2 or later provides better protection against viruses, hackers, and worms, and includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer, and the new Windows Security Center.

There are two functions that have direct influence on the function of OPC which uses DCOM.

One is an addition of new properties for DCOM and the other is that Windows Firewall is turned on by default.

To change the setting, it is necessary to log on as a user with Administrator privilege.

5.2 Dual state management

The states of OPC Server are described below.

1) INIT : Initializing

2) PRE-ONLINE: Wait for online (The talker is none.)

3) ONLINE: Reading scan data. The talker is only own node’s.

4) BACKUP: Reading scan data. The talkers are own node’s and parent node’s.

5) STANDBY: Reading scan data. The talker is none. It is impossible to write the scan data.

6) STANDBY-LOCK: STANDBY state and locking

7) DOWN: Node down

Normally, the states of all nodes are “ONLINE” but when the system detects an error, the state of abnormal node becomes “STANDBY”. On “STANDBY” state, it is possible to read scan data normally but impossible to write it.

When the parent node and the child node are “ONLINE”, if the state of the parent node becomes “STANDBY”, one of the own node becomes “BACKUP”. On “BACKUP” state, it is possible to read scan data normally and the talker blocks of the parent node are added to own.

At this time, OPC Clients must request the own node to write scan data..

(OPC Clients mustn’t request the parent node.)

Condition for finishing to backup parent nodes

- The state of parent node is PRE_ONLINE, ONLINE or BACKUP. - Other Nodes are using talker of parent nodes.

All Parent Nodes became

PRE_ONLINE, ONLINE or BACKUP


Other Nodes are using talker of self node

*1:"Other Nodes are (not) using talker of self node"

means that it is resulted from checking talker blocks

registered in self node and not from checking them of

parent nodes backed up.

*2:"Other Nodes are (not) using talker of parent nodes"

means that it is resulted from checking talker blocks of

parent node which is or will be backed up.

*3: When the state is STANBY and "Other Nodes don't

use talker of self node", "Child Node is backing up self

node" means that talkers isn't be used. After the state

of self node becomes to be normal, it will move to

PRE-ONLINE.

Including the condition this

has several Parent Nodes.

*4: Just after the state has changed, this doesn't detect the

duplicate talkers. Therefore if talker is used in other node

at that time, the state of self node doesn't immediately

move from ORE-ONLINE to STANDBY.

*5: For the self node, it is included in "Self TC-net Card

Error" that the dual diagnosis counter for network of

TC-net has no change.


“Other Nodes are using talker of self

node or Client Application Error.”

The following either states occurred.

- Self TC-net Card Error

- Self TC-net Scan stop

- Self TC-net Removed Ring

DOWN

Shut down request from the OS or the Unhealthy of each task of OPC server

Other States

INIT : Initializing PRE-ONLINE : Wait for online (The talker is none.) ONLINE : Reading scan data. The talker is only own node's. STANDBY : Reading scan data. The talker is none. BACKUP : Reading scan data. The talkers are own node's and

7.1 How to set the environment for OPC Server

This diagram indicates how to change the environment for OPC Server. This environment is set in “TCnetOPCSvr.ini” file under the folder which the TC-net100 OPC Server program is installed in. (Default: C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TC_net OPC Server).

When you want to change it, you need to open this file by notepad or other tools and edit it.

The content of this file “TCnetOPCSvr.ini” is as below.

[General] PortNo=20000 MaxNodeDist=8 MaxRepeater=3 MaxNodeDist1G=10 LoopTotalExt=10 MaxUtghJtgiDist=1 NumTg=100 NumUtgh=4 NumJtgi=12 ParentDiagCount=3 LocalDiagCount=3 ClientDiagCount=30 StateHoldTime=1 StateUpdateTime=1 #DebugMode=1 #PerformanceLog=1 DefAcceWordNum=5 MaxDmaBlockNum=64 HealthyCheckCycle=5 DstScanStopEnable=1 ScanContMoniEnable=1 ScanContMoniTimeout=5 ScanContMoniWaitTime=60 ScanContMoniFloatTime=60 ScanContMoniExecCount=3 PowerMonitorEnable=1 TimeAdjustInterval=00:00

When you change this file, you must restart OPC Server.

Important:

When you change the environment (“TCnetOPCSvr.ini” file), OPC Server may nor run normally accoring to the contents of changes. Please change it carefully.

Before you change it, you should copy this file and prepare to recover it.


78

Set the Port No. for transmission

If you want to change the Port No. which the transmission between OPC Server and OPC Server tool uses, you change “PortNo” parameter in “TCnetOPCSvr.ini.” file.

[General] PortNo=20000 :

Set the parameters for TC-net100

If you want to change the parameters for TC-net100, maximum distance between nodes and maximum repeater step number, you change “MaxNodeDist” parameter and “MaxRepeater” parameter in “TCnetOPCSvr.ini.” file.

[General] : MaxNodeDist=8 --- Maximum distance between nodes, Unit : 0.1km MaxRepeater=3 --- maximum repeater step number :

Set the parameters for TC-net1G

If you want to change the parameters for TC-net1G, maximum distance between nodes, System total length and Star maximum length, you change “MaxNodeDist1G” parameter , “LoopTotalExt” parameter and “MaxUtghJtgiDist” parameter in “TCnetOPCSvr.ini.” file.

And set number of TG823/UTGH23/JTGI23 in a system in "NumTg", "NumUtgh" and "NumJtgi" parameter.

[General] : MaxNodeDist1G=10 --- Maximum distance between nodes, Unit : 0.1km LoopTotalExt=10 --- System total length, Unit : 1km MaxUtghJtgiDist=1 --- Star maximum length, Unit : 0.1km NumTg=100 --- Number of TG823 in a system NumUtgh=4 --- Number of UTGH23 in a system NumJtgi=12 --- Number of JTGI23 in a system :

Set the diagnosis time

If you want to change the diagnosis time that the function switching dual state has, you change “ParentDiagCount” parameter, “LocalDiagCount” parameter and “ClientDiagCount” parameter in “TCnetOPCSvr.ini.” file.

ParentDiagCount : This is the time to diagnose the healthy of JTNI of the parent nodes and OPC Server. (per Sec)


79

LocalDiagCount : This is the time to diagnose the healthy of the self node. (per Sec)

ClientDiagCount : This is the time to diagnose the healthy of the OPC Clients. (per Sec)

Set the Dual state management

If you want to change an action of the function switching dual state has, you change “StateHoldTime” parameter and “StateUpdateTime” parameter in “TCnetOPCSvr.ini.” file.

StateHoldTime: This is the time that holds an PRE-ONLINE, ONLINE and BACKUP state. (per Sec)

StateUpdateTime: This is the transfer time of the dual state and healthy counter of the OPC Server. (per 100msec)

[General] : ParentDiagCount=3 LocalDiagCount=3 ClientDiagCount=30 :

[General] : StateHoldTime=1 StateUpdateTime=1 :

You restart OPC Server and click “TC-net OPC Server Dual Manage” icon in the task bar.

The “TC-net OPC Server Dual Manager” dialog is shown as below.


81

As the history indicates like (*1), you wait that the dual state has moved to “PRE_ONLINE”, “ONLINE” or “BACKUP” after it connected OPC Server.

(3) Change the diagnosis states

In the “TC-net OPC Server Dual Manager” dialog, the content of (*2) indicates the following state.

JTNI/JTGI UnHealthy (Status) …The status of JTNI/JTGI is Unhealthy Client UnHealthy (Status) …The status of OPC Client is Unhealthy Talker Block Used (Status) … Talkers of self node are duplicate or not

By setting ON in the check box (*3), you can change the state shown in (*2).

JTNI/JTGI Healthy …Make JTNI/JTGI Healthy. No Check Client UnHealthy…Not check OPC Client’s healthy. No Check Talker Block Used … Not check whether or not Talkers of self node are duplicate. (**1)

Set Talker Block Used … Make the Talkers of self node duplicate.

For example, when the state is “JTNI/JTGI UnHealthy (Status)” in (*2) and you would like to change this to “Healthy”, you set ON to the check box of “JTNI /JTGI Healthy” in (*3).

*1

*2

*3

- Reading Cycle which is set per block. - The Number of blocks accessed per block (This is number of words.) - The Number of words accessed per word - Maximum, Minimum and Average of time which is taken to do the process (Unit : micro second) - Maximum, Minimum and Average of time which is taken to read actually (Unit : ms)


- The Number of blocks accessed per block when you make the setting value of “Scan memory access” move from 2 to 64

- The Number of words accessed per word when you make the setting value of “Scan memory access” move from 2 to 64

- The Time for the procedure (Unit : micro second)

The setting value “AcceWordNum” of “Scan memory access” is one in the line where the value of “ProcTime” parameter is the minimum.

According to the above sample, “ProcTime” parameter in the line with underline is minimum (32000) and so you use the “AcceWordNum = 18” here.

- Reading Cycle which is set per block. - The Number of blocks accessed per block (This is number of words.) - Maximum, Minimum and Average of time which is taken to do the process (Unit : micro second) - Maximum, Minimum and Average of time which is taken to read actually (Unit : ms)


- The Number of blocks accessed per block when you make the setting value of “Scan memory access” move from 8 to 256

- The Number of accessed when you make the setting value of “Scan memory access” move from 8 to 256

- The Time for the procedure (Unit : micro second)

The setting value “DmaBlockNum” of “Scan memory access” is one in the line where the value of “ProcTime” parameter is the minimum.

According to the above sample, “ProcTime” parameter in the line with underline is minimum (4527) and so you use the “DmaBlockNum = 96” here.

About how to change the setting value, please refer to “Change the prescribed value of JTNI (PCI Express Card) and JTGI Scan Memory Access Performance” of “7.1”.

7.3 Time adjusting function with TC-net

When used TC-net100(JTNI PCI Express Card) or TC-net1G(JTGI), this chapter describes a function of adjust date/time of OPC server at the date/time of TC-net system.

Do "Setting of time adjusting interval with TC-net" of 7.1 "How to set the environment for OPC Server" beforehand, and please reboot OPC server.

(1) Time adjusting function

At intervals of the execution that specified in "Setting of time adjusting interval with TC-net" of 7.1 "How to set the environment for OPC Server", begin to read the date/time from TC-net system and adjust the date/time of OPC server.

About an execution interval, please refer to "Setting of time adjusting interval with TC-net" of 7.1 "How to set the environment for OPC Server".

(2) Time adjusting processing

When never set the date/time in TC-net system, date/time that has begun to read from a TC-net system is wrong.

On this account, do not adjust the date/time of OPC Server when compare the date/time of TC-net system and OPC Server, and there was a difference more than one month (longer from 31 days). In this case the following log is output to log file (TCnetScanCtrl.log)

Example) Year and month of TC-net are different from the Current time. PC [2012/02/15] / TC-net [2034/01/01]

In addition, the time does not adjust the date/time of PC in case of 00:00 so that "day" does not change as much as possible. But, in the case of execution interval specification for 1-24 hours, adjust the date/time five minutes later.

Execution log of date/time adjusting does not output it whenever adjust the date/time. When differences of the date/time of TC-net system and OPC Server are more than one minute, output it in log file. Following log is output to log file (TCnetScanCtrl.log)

Example) TC-net Date/Time Adjust Execute. : 2012/02/15 11:10:00.319 -> 2012/02/15 11:11:05.238

Important: "Time adjusting function with TC-net" added in TC-net OPC Server V01.80

8. Log Save Tool

8.1 Outline of Log Save Tool

Log Save Tool compresses a log file (four follows) of each OPC server function and saves it in a specified period, hard disk.

(1) OPC Server Function (Log file : TCnetOPCSvr.log, TCnetOPCSvr.org)

(2) Dual Management Function (Log file : OpcDualMng.log, OpcDualMng.org)

(3) TC-net Access Function (Log file : TCnetScanCtrl.log, TCnetScanCtrl.org)

(4) Tool I/F Function (Log file : OpcToolIfSvr.log, OpcToolIfSvr.org)

When file size exceeds 1MB a current log file (extension : log), extension is changed to "org" from "log". Log Save Tool detects that extension of this log file changed and executes compression processing.

Log Save Tool change a file name before compressing it. (extension : org -> txt)

Show an example of a file name in the following.

File name : TCnetOPCSvr_100622-171052_100622-182010.txt,

OpcDualMng_100622-100905_100622-231025.txt etc. Top date/time of stored by log file. "yymmdd-hhmmss" Last date/time. "yymmdd-hhmmss"

In addition, at a point in time when a stop of log save process or date changed into, copy a current log file (extension : log), and compression processes after changing a file name.

Log file compresses a period of 1 day in one file and saves it.

Show an example of a name of a compressed file in the following. (extension : cmp)

Diagnosis of each task of OPC server

Each task (TCnetOPCSvr.exe, OpcDualMng.exe, TCnetScanCtrl.exe, OpcToolIfSvr.exe) of OPC server update a healthy counter. OPC Server Monitor the healthy counter which each task updates. OPC Server judge that the task became abnormal when detect a stop of a healthy counter, and change the states of OPC Server to DOWN mode. About a change way of this diagnosis time, please refer to 7.1 How to set the environment for OPC Server "Change of diagnosis time of each task of an OPC server".

Quantity of memory use of OPC server

OPC Server V01.60 Add current value and average value of quantity of memory use of OPC server to an item of OPC. In current value, the value that got quantity of memory use of OPC server process by a period for five seconds is set. In average value, the value that calculated moving average of 120 samples of a value (for 10 minutes) is set. Quantity of memory use of OPC server becomes a value the same as "Private Bytes" of "Performance Monitor", not a value displayed by "Process" list of "Task Manager".

RAS function of TC-net

OPC server uses RAS function of TC-net100(JTNI PCI Express Card) or TC-net1G (JTGI), and does the following actions. (1) Request to stop of the scan transmission of other station

This is a function when used TC-net1G (JTGI). When parent node does not release talker blocks when own node tried a switchover to BUCKUP mode, OPC Server require JTGI of parent node to stop the scan transmission. When parent node detects scan stop, dual states switch over to PRE-ONLINE mode. JTGI of parent node release talker blocks. Default setting of this function is enabled. About a way to disable this function, please refer to 7.1 How to set the environment for

OPC Server "Change of enable or disable of request to stop of the scan transmission of other station".

(2) Monitor function of continuation request of the scan transmission of own station

This is a function when used TC-net100(JTNI PCI Express Card) or TC-net1G (JTGI). OPC server enables "Monitor function of continuation request of the scan transmission" (WDT) of JTNI/JTGI of own node, and outputs "Scan Transmission Continuation Request" regularly if all each tasks of OPC server are normal. When JTNI/JTGI of own node watch presence of "Scan Transmission Continuation Request" in set monitor time. When this request disappeared, JTNI/JTGI of own node judges OPC server to be abnormal and stops the scan transmission. If OPC Server is dual system, child node backs up this node. Default setting of this function is enabled. About a way to change this function, please refer to 7.1 How to set the environment for OPC Server "Change of enable or disable of monitor function of continuation request of the scan transmission of own station". An action of each parameter of action environment setting file "TCnetOPCSvr.ini" in the following. (Abbreviate "Monitor function of continuation request of the scan transmission" to "WDT" as follows)

There are "Fixed wait time" and "Floarting wait time", from completion of initialize of OPC Server or dual state changes till start of WDT. After completion of initialize of OPC Server or dual state changes, wait for "Fixed wait time". Wait for "Floarting wait time" afterwards. If WDT reset processing was executed more than "ScanContMoniExecCount" times among "ScanContMoniTimeout" time, judge that CPU load became low and was stable. Start of WDT after checking the operation of WDT if became this state. Cannot judge to CPU load became low and was stable, or judge to WDT function was wrong, validate WDT forcibly after "ScanContMoniFloatTime" time passed.

(60 [sec]) --- (d) Wed Oct 19 17:45:57 - WDT Reset Interval Time Max Reset. Wed Oct 19 17:45:57 - WDT Reset Interval Time = 1758 [ms] -> Max Wed Oct 19 17:45:57 - WDT Reset Interval is Abnormal. --- (e) ： Wed Oct 19 17:46:02 - WDT Reset Interval Time = 1099 [ms] Wed Oct 19 17:46:02 - Test WDT Setting. Write&Read=10000 Count= 9051 Wed Oct 19 17:46:03 - WDT Reset Interval is Normal. --- (f) Wed Oct 19 17:46:03 - WDT Reset Interval Time = 1041 [ms] Wed Oct 19 17:46:03 - Test WDT Setting. Write&Read=15000 Count=14025 Wed Oct 19 17:46:04 - WDT Reset Interval Time = 1078 [ms] Wed Oct 19 17:46:04 - Test WDT Setting. Write&Read= 3000 Count= 1998 --- (g) Wed Oct 19 17:46:05 - WDT Function Normal. --- (h) Wed Oct 19 17:46:05 - Set WDT Enabled. (Timeout = 5000 [ms]) --- (i) Wed Oct 19 17:46:05 - WDT Reset Interval Time Max Reset. Wed Oct 19 17:46:05 - WDT Reset Interval Time = 1047 [ms] -> Max Wed Oct 19 17:46:06 - WDT Reset Interval Time = 1052 [ms] -> Max ：

(a) Show that initialization of an OPC server was completed. (b) Show a real execution interval of WDT reset processing. (c) Show that changed of dual status. (Start of Fixed wait time) (d) Show that fixed wait time passed. (Start of Floarting wait time) (e) WDT reset processing was less than "ScanContMoniExecCount" times among

"ScanContMoniTimeout" time, show that became critical state. (the state that CPU load is high)

(f) WDT reset processing was executed more than "ScanContMoniExecCount" times among "ScanContMoniTimeout" time, show that became stable state (the state that CPU load is low).

(g) Show progress of operation check of WDT function. In addition, the following log is output when abnormality occurred.

10. RAS function

124

"Test WDT Timeout Setting Error!! Write= XXX Read= YYY" --- Writing abnormality of setting value "Test WDT Counter Value Error!! Write= XXX Count= ZZZ" --- Abnormality of count value

(h) Show that operation of WDT function is normal. If cannot judge to CPU load became low and was stable, or judge to WDT function was wrong, following log is output "Floating Wait Time is Over. (XX [sec])" --- Show that Floarting wait time passed.

(i) Show that started WDT function.

When (e) and (f) are recorded in log, have to coordinate a value of "Fixed wait time" (ScanContMoniWaitTime) parameter. By the example mentioned above, progress time from (c) to (f) recorded last is 66 seconds. Please set "Fixed wait time" in a big value than this time. By this, "WDT abnormality detection" does not occur. When these adjustment is difficult or log of (e) and (f) is sometimes recorded after passed of "ScanContMoniWaitTime", please set WDT function for disable.

(3) Power supply monitor function of own station

This is a function when used TC-net100(JTNI PCI Express Card) or TC-net1G (JTGI). OPC server enables "Power supply monitor function" of JTNI/JTGI of own node. When JTNI/JTGI of own node detects abnormality of the power supply voltage of PCI bus card, JTNI/JTGI leave TC-net. When OPC server of own node detects "JTNI/JTGI leave TC-net" by this, dual states switch over to PRE-ONLINE mode. If OPC Server is dual system, child node backs up this node. Default setting of this function is enabled. About a way to disable this function, please refer to 7.1 How to set the environment for OPC Server "Change of enable or disable of power supply monitor function of own station".

(4) Log related to RAS function

Read register of JTGI periodically and output log related to RAS function. This log related to RAS function, please see log file "TCnetScanCtrl.log". In log file, the following states are output.

JTNI/JTGI Status : PowerMonitor Enable. --- Power supply monitor function : Enable JTNI/JTGI Status : PowerMonitor Disable. --- Power supply monitor function : Disable JTNI/JTGI Status : PowerMonitor Status ON. --- Power supply status : Abnormal JTNI/JTGI Status : PowerMonitor Status OFF. --- Power supply status : Normal JTNI/JTGI Status : ScanContMonitor(WDT) Enable. Timeout=XXXX [ms] --- WDT function : Enable JTNI/JTGI Status : ScanContMonitor(WDT) Disable. --- WDT function : Disable JTNI/JTGI Status : ScanContMonitor(WDT) Status ON. --- WDT status : Abnormal

10. RAS function

125

JTNI/JTGI Status : ScanContMonitor(WDT) Status OFF. --- WDT status : Normal JTNI/JTGI Status : ScanStopRequest from Node XX. --- Receive "Request to stop of the scan transmission" (XX : Request source node)
