PCO ~ Service Dependencies

[Former Member]

MII 12.1

NI OPC 3.0

UDS 4.0

What service dependency is needed for MII and PCO to communicate properly. Currently, the default is Event Log and Net TCP Port Sharing. I am getting an error about the port sharing, but I am wondering what others do I need to simply have MII communicate properly?

Also, how do I set up the TCP Port Sharing if this is the service I need setup?

In PCo you define agent instances, which are self-hosted services. To be available for MII 12.1 you need to enable a Communication Port (available with PCo 2.1, in Ramp Up right now) of type "Legacy". Standard PCo agents do not have other services as prerequisites, only Event Log and NET Tcp Sharing. If partners develop PCo agents there might be additional ones.
