I am logging OPC tags to SQL server using block groups, However I am able to log the values to the correct SQL table column, I am not able to log the item Names to a naming column.
I originally thought by clicking store row_id and binding it to that naming column, it would map the item name with the value inside of my table… All I get it null values in my table for the row_id.
No, the row id is not for the item name. You have to create another block item in the group with the same amount of tags. You can just copy and paste a block you already have. You can edit the block and give it an appropriate name, choose String as the datatype, choose “Name” for the “Property”, and choose which column you want to map to. Block items can refer to the value of the tags, the quality, the timestamp and the name.
