Start the I/O Driver Manually from Mission Control

 To start the I/O driver manually from Mission Control:

  1. Start Mission Control.
  2. Click the I/O Control tab. This tab displays a list of the drivers installed on your system, along with the driver’s status (ACTIVE or STOPPED).
  3. From the Drivers list box, select the driver you want to start.
  4. Click Start. If the selected I/O driver is already running, the Start button becomes a Stop button.

NOTES:

  • You must have an OPC Client configuration file in your root iFIX or Dynamics directory with the name of nodename.OPC. This file is necessary for iFIX to load the driver and is created by the installation program when you install the OPC Client driver. You also need a configuration file with a different name that defines your servers, groups, and items.
  • If you are using iFIX, nodename.OPC resides in your Database path (C:\FIX32\PDB, by default). Do not move, rename, or delete this file. iFIX uses the file to load the driver. Use nodename.OPC to define your servers, groups, and items.
