Control Connection values are taken from a template which has 3000 ms.
I believe you need to change the template.
Will check more tomorrow and revert.
When performing an *un-typed* upload (resulting in Generic OPC Objects) the update rate is hard coded to 3000 ms.
I recommend that you forward a future enhancement request to your regional ABB sales representative: "user defined OPC update rate" for Generic OPC upload.
In lack of this new function you could fall back on *typed* upload:
1. Upload normally
2. Create object type objects for each type the OPC server exposes
3. Copy Control Connection aspects from Control Structure to Object Type Structure. Define appropriate update rate on type level (permission, trend scaling, etc. properties can also be set)
4. Use Bulk Data Manager to extract Control Structure objects to Excel
5. Use BDM to insert objects from above step into Functional Structure, now using appropriate object types created in previous step.
6. Delete Control Structure objects (references will go lost...)
7. Perform upload. The uploader will now "merge" the instances carrying same name from Functional Structure into Control Structure using CCA properties set on the type.
The merge is depending on unique naming - object must not exist more than one (1) time for merge to work.
