The purpose of this article is to present a DCM config file, that can be used as a reference for building your specific config.
This config file can be used in conjunction with the Reference articles for the various collectors and data servers.
Includes many of the possible range of options.
3 collectors
- 1 Modbus collector,
- 1 OPC UA collector with 3 Aggregation sample points
- 1 collector Alias of the Modbus collector(copy of the Modbus collector for a second Modbus device)
1 data server
