dOPCComn.TdOPCClient.ServerName

ServerName contains the name of the OPC DA server the client wants to connect with.

Delphi

property ServerName: string;

C++

__property AnsiString ServerName;

Remarks

3 types of OPC specification are possible:

For UA servers:

Enter the URL location of the OPC UA server (e.g. opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:51210/ua/sampleserver).

For COM servers:

Enter the server name (ProgId or ClassId) of the server that the client is connected to via the Connect method.

For XML servers:

Enter the URL location of the OPC XML DA server (e.g. http://localhost/opxmlda/Matrikon.OPC.Simulation.1). Don't forget "http://" or "https://" at the beginning to advise dOPC to use XML connections.

Also possible is to define the protocol direct: e.g. OPCClient.Protocol := coUA;
