Charm

Charm devices send results to a defined port on the computer using the OPC Router. The OPC Router monitors this port and accepts the messages (results of measurements (inhibitor, microtoxins, etc.).

No connections are configured in this plug-in. The port to which the Charm device sends is set directly in the trigger.

Basically, a separate port must be created for each Charm device type. Recommended procedure: All charm devices of one type are sent to the same port. In the OPC Router a single connection is created. In addition to the results, the OPC Router also transmits information about the sending Charm device to the database. The logic of how the results are processed is in the database (or another transfer destination).

However, if you want to create a separate connection for each Charm device, a separate port must also be available for each device.

Timeout	When a Charm device establishes a connection, it has the time entered in milliseconds to send all data to the OPC Router. Requires the Charm device longer, the connection is disconnected from the OPC Router.
Maximal message length	When connecting the Charm device to the OPC Router, data is sent. If more than the allowed characters are transferred, the OPC Router disconnects the connection and sees the message as faulty.
