Component disable

Disabling a component may be useful for maintenance purposes. To disable a network, select it in the Driver Manager view, click Edit and set Enabled to false.

Figure 9.   Disabling the OpcUaNetwork

Disabling a network changes the status of all its child components (all devices, proxy points, etc.) to disabled. For a field bus driver, this action also suspends communications routines including polling and device status pings. By default, disabled components display in gray text on a light gray background.

You can also disable devices and proxy points. The same procedure applies: select the device or point in the Device Manager or Point Manager, respectively and click Edit and set Enabled to false.

A disabled device disables all child (proxy points) as well as point polling. Disabling a proxy point disables the single point.
