Is it possible to change OPC server name?

I have installed OPC server for AC800M. Is there any way to change the original name ABB.AC800MC_OpcDaServer.3 with something else?

Hello,

Why you want to change name, what is use case? As it is not recommended due to compatibility issues, you may indulge into some other issue. Recommended to contact ABB local support people or support line for specific need.

There is one system with matrikon OPC server. We will change the system and new system will be with ABB controller (ABB OPC server) and Siemens WinCC. But a few tags from old system must be with same address and names, because they are configured in third system.

Thanks, Linkinx64! I wont use this way may be, but it is interesting to know

Yes, but this is not recommended due to compatibility issues.

Find default parameter in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{68AEC2CA-93CD-11D1-94E1-0020AFC84400}\ProgID.

New value musn't contain spaces and any other forbidden symbols. It maybe require to change the same parameter on all OPC clients of ABB AC 800M OPC Server.
