Issue
When adding points to your OPC Client from a Schneider Electric Vista OPC Server that contains points from Xenta Servers error "The item definition does not conform to the server syntax".
Product Line
TAC Vista
Environment
- Vista 5.x
- Vista OPC Server 1.6.x
- Xenta Server 511-B, 731, 527, 913
Cause
There are certain characters that are invalid in an OPC Server environment which are allowed in the Vista Server database. Invalid names include I/NET, RS232/485 A, and TCP/IP.
Resolution
Create a folder in the Vista database and create shortcuts for the points that are suffering this problem. This avoids any invalid characters, but grants full functionality for the data in question.
