• topic name: Meaningful names are configured in the DAServer to identify specific
devices. These names are then used as the topic names in all conversations with that
device. For example, OmronPLC. Topic name maps to a device group defined in the
DAServer.
Note: You can define multiple device-group (topic) names for the same device (PLC) to
poll different points at different rates.
• item name: A specific data element within the specified topic. For example, when using
this DAServer, an item can be a relay, timer, counter, register, and so on, in the PLC.
Note: The term "point" is used interchangeably with the term "item" in this user's guide.
For more information on item/point names, see the Item Names section of this user's
guide.

Demo Mode
Demo Mode allows you to test the functionality of the OMRON Ethernet Direct DAServer
(with all features enabled) for 60 minutes. After that time, you must install HASP key.
The HASP key is needed for full time running of OMRON Ethernet Direct DAServer. The
HASP Driver setup is performed during the DAServer setup. Without HASP Driver
installed the OMRON Ethernet Direct DAServer will run supporting all features only 60
minutes after which the server stops updating read/write on all device items and reject the
addition of any new items.
Clients continue to function normally (for example, you can still add or remove an item,
but its value is not updated).
Note: The $SYS$Licensed system item value with OMRON Ethernet Direct DAServer is
not relevant.
