Hi all

I have an OPC DA server which has a leaf named "X" at the root level. in addition, at the root level, I have a branch named "X" (identical names). How can I differentiate between the two when a client calls to "GetItemID()"? In other words, how can I know which one the client applied to?

 

Regards

The should be the same. i.e. X is a Branch that also has a Value (a.k.a. Leaf).

The DA3 makes this use case clearer than DA2
