Hi,
Please guide me how to connect OPC server on remote PC from Rapid Scada.
Both PC are on same network. Configured DCOM setting and able to see each other from third party OPC client. But, I’m not able to connect from Rapid Scada. Thanks.

Rapid Scada – 5.8.1August 12, 2020 at 1:29 pm #7142MikhailModeratorHi,
You should install Communicator and Agent applications on the remote PC. Then add an additional instance in the Rapid SCADA project. Communicator on the remote PC should refer to the IP address of the main Rapid SCADA server.
August 12, 2020 at 1:30 pm #7143MikhailModeratorIf something goes wrong in the above sequence, please provide screenshots.
August 12, 2020 at 1:38 pm #7146MikhailModeratorDoes your OPC server support OPC UA? This would make setup easier.

Make sure that the firewall of the target machine allows incoming connections to the port 10010.August 13, 2020 at 2:44 pm #7160scadakidParticipantAugust 13, 2020 at 3:06 pm #7162scadakidParticipantI have done the following steps.
1) install Agent and Communicator on remote PC in which OPC server is installed (OK)
2) communicator on the remote PC refer to main rapid scada server (OK)
3) create second instance in main rapid scada server (FAIL)
what setting should be in second instance?
4) create new deployment for second instance (FAIL),I have gone through the following two topics also. I still can’t get the whole picture exactly.

August 14, 2020 at 2:55 pm #7166MikhailModeratorInstead of localhost you should specify the IP of the remote server.
August 14, 2020 at 4:02 pm #7167scadakidParticipantHi Mikhail,
Thanks for your reply.
IP address = IP of the remote server
Username = ScadaAdmin
Password = 12345
What should be the Secret key?August 16, 2020 at 7:11 am #7169MikhailModeratorHi,
The secret key is a string specified in C:\SCADA\ScadaAgent\Config\ScadaAgentConfig.xml on the remote server.
August 20, 2020 at 1:18 am #7183scadakidParticipantHi Mikhail,
I was able to create new deployment profile for the 2nd instance.
