Connect to FA-Server as a DDE server from a cell in Excel
Here we will explain the steps to connect to a FA-Server tag from a cell in Excel using DDE.
The steps introduced here can be broadly divided into three parts:
|
Register the tag. |
Step 2: Configure the interface
|
Configure the DDE interface. |
|
Configure Excel. |
The format of DDE specified from a Excel cell is as follows:
=Application name|Topic name!Tag name
example)
=FASERVER|U01.F01!T01 |
You can also simplify the format definition by shortening the application name, unit name, and folder name. The application name can be changed from the DDE interface properties.
