We have a 3rd party opc server that is offering some tags, which are browsable and looks to be well structured. Now we want to make an udt so that we can set up instances from the opc server whith a relative path and a parameter to specify the starting path.
However with this opc server, the read path is different from the display path.
I.E the read path might be like
Server/Customer/Stations/Data/Device/Machine1/kwh
but when i drag and drop the tag from the browser into the tagprovider it looks like
c4e3eae1-204a-47b4-950f-3fe0d1bb30e4/Data/Machine 1/1a0a3fff-e2c4-553f-a37g-7674d254a73d
Since the real paths are made up of guids for each device we have no way read from it relativley.
Anyone know how to get around this? In one project we just made a folder where we copied in the entire opc server and referenced that, but im not sure that was the best solution.
