Can I connect different properties on the same ActiveX control to items on different OPC servers ?
Yes – you use the Add button on the OPC tab on the properties page to bring up the properties dialog, choose another property, then connect that property to additional OPC items. The OPC Server selection is independent on each and every property that you connect. We would caution you that each OPC server connection, by the very nature of the connection, will consume computing resources and that if you had too many different server connections on a single control, particularly if the OPC servers were remote, you will see slow startup for your application as our control goes out and sets up the connection with each OPC server at initialization.
