Introduction
There are many thousands of COM/DCOM error codes. Because OPC is based on the COM/DCOM framework many of the errors you may encounter via OPC may actually be COM/DCOM errors. This document outlines just a few of the most common error codes, by translating them into a description and providing very basic information on resolving them.

COM/DCOM Error Code Descriptions


Hex Code Description The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. There is no connection for this connection ID Need to run the object to perform this operation Uninitialized object Class not registered The OPC Server, or a component needed to make the OPC connection is not registered with Windows. This may mean that you simply need to register a DLL or OCX file. The OPC Server does not support the interface that you are trying to connect to. Examples may include Item Browsing, Asynchronous I/O or OPC DA v2.x or 3.x interfaces etc. The GUID/CLSID of the specified OPC Server is not valid. DCOM security problem, typically on the Client side. This error typically occurs when trying to specify a callback address for Asynchronous I/O. Resolution Re-initialize your OPC Server Connection.

You will need more details on the actual OPC calls being made between the Client and Server. Specific to Windows Services. The service did not start within the allowed time-frame. This indicates an initialization problem with the Windows service. This is a timeout. You may need to increase your timeout settings.

0x80070057

0x8007041d

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

0x800705b4

This operation returned because the timeout period expired. A floating-point underflow occurred at the RPC server. Incompatible version of the RPC stub. Server execution failed

0x800706ea 0x80070725 0x80080005

There is a problem with the OPC Server preventing it from being started by Windows. This may be the result of file-permissions, DCOM Security permissions, or a lack of resources. The OPC Server does not support the interface that you are trying to connect to. Examples may include Item Browsing, Asynchronous I/O or OPC DA v2.x or 3.x interfaces etc. The most common message seen, that yields the least information. In these cases you often need to check the event-logs at your OPC Server for more information. DCOM Configuration permissions. Modify the identity that the application should run under, perhaps specify a named account or choose Interactive User.

0x80004002

No such interface supported

0x80004005

Unspecified error

0x8000401a
