configuration tool as explained below.
4.1.1 Manual Configuration
A connection can be added using the form of key value pairs as shown in below example:
FieldgateOPCServer_Manual-Config
Configuration Fieldgate
10 Endress+Hauser
In above example 2 Fieldgate FXA520/320 gateways are configured. First Fieldgate
connection required proxy setting but no use name and password but second Fieldgate
required only username and password but no proxy setting.
Configuration elements are explained in detail in chapter "FieldgateOPC.config"
(→ ä 16).
In case FieldgateOPC.config file gets damaged then delete this file from above
mentioned location, restart OPC server. OPC server will copy back default configuration
file.
4.1.2 Fieldgate configuration tool
Fieldgate Configuration tool (FieldgateOPCConfigTool.exe) can be access from Start Menu
→ All Programs → FieldateOPCServer → Configuration. Open configuration tool as
shown below:
Add/modify or remove parameters on GUI and press Submit button to save configuration in
fieldgateOPC.config file.
Select complete row and press Delete button to delete entry from configuration file.

Note!
• Parameters which are not present in connected Fieldgate are not visible on OPC Server.
• All Parameters are read only.
• If device tag is not present then OPC server uses device id to populate opc tag structure.
• If device tag contains "." (dot) in tag value, OPC server replaces "." with "_" (underscore). I.e.
if device tag value is "4…20mA" then OPC server displays "4___20mA" on OPC Client.
