Exercise Steps
1. Identify a controller attribute to be used for the exercise. The attribute should
preferably be an integer or float variable with a constantly changing value (e.g. a
sinus wave). Use the following object:
Persons using ASCSx: Sin1
Persons using ASCSxR: Sig2
Persons using CLx: Sig3
2. Make a Graphic Display which uses the graphic element Value of your object
3. Use the Process Graphics Diagnostic window to inspect the on-going subscription.

Note: In all steps below, study the reaction on a) display opening, b) display
steady on screen and c) display closing.
4. Use the AC800 OPC Server panel to:
a) View the current OPC Groups and cyclic rates
b) View the Update Rate of the controller communication
c) Identify the number of needed MMS transactions and their cyclic rate to
sustain the subscription.

5. Use the Control Builder to view the number of MMS transactions?

6. Use the “opcdadebugprint” system variable to log the subscription in the AC800
OPC Server.
7. Use the item trace (OPCItemsDebug.cfg) to log the subscription in the AC800
OPC Server.
8. Use AppLog to execute the OPC DA Connector Statistics operation.
