Procedure

Locate the Key created with the ProgID of the OPC HDA server, which you entered while installing the OPC HDA Collector.

Enter a decimal value greater than 5. This value represents the number of seconds for the collector to wait before trying to re-connect to the OPC HDA Server. Click OK, and then edit the Registry Editor.
- MinValue = 5 seconds (default)
- MaxValue = 60 seconds
Click OK, and then edit the Registry Editor.
