Preventing OPC Factory Server from creating separate tags for DDT in Control Expert
I'm facing an issue with OPC Factory Server, Control Expert and ignition (HMI). I configured OPC Factory Server to communicate with my PLC program developed in Control Expert and Ignition. I have DDT tags in my Control Expert project. I notice that in Ignition a tag of the DDT is created and a folder containing the tag of the DDT is created:
I don't want the DDT tag to be created, only the folder. Is it possible to do so? I don't know if this is caused by control expert, OPC Factory Server or Ignition.
