Performing Bulk Configuration of Advanced Data Settings
Scenario: You want to perform bulk operations to configure advanced data settings.
Workflow diagram:
Steps:
Before proceeding with the export, you may want to manually configure advanced data settings at least for one row in the Advanced Data Settings area. This might help editing the configuration file later.
- In the OPC UA Client Advanced Configuration section, click Advanced Data Settings.
- The Advanced Data Settings area displays.
- Set the delimiter to be used in the file to be exported:
- Comma
- Semicolon
- Click Export CSV.
- In the Save As dialog box, replace the predefined file name (AdvancedPointConfiguration.csv) with a new one to save the setting in a new file. Alternatively, select an existing file to overwrite its configuration. Then click Save.
- Click OK.
- Open the configuration file ([AdvancedPointConfiguration].csv) with Excel.
- Edit the following columns as required:
- [FunctionName]
- [AlarmClass]
- [AlarmValue]
- Save and close the file.
- Click Import CSV.
- In the Open dialog box, select the updated CSV file, and click Open.
- Click OK.
- The updated settings are loaded from the CSV file into the Advanced Data Settings section.
If the configuration is invalid, the Advanced Data Settings dialog box informs you of the errors. In particular, the severity of the errors is graphically indicated, including the file line where the error occurred and a brief description of the error.
File lines that include critical errors 
will not be imported, while those that include less severe errors 
or 
will be partially imported.
You may want to click Export Logs to export the errors to the Logs.txt file, and then revise the configuration.
- In the Extended Operation tab, next to the URL property, click Discover.
- System Browser refreshes and displays the OPC UA Client configuration.
