This 3-page document provides instructions for configuring the Intouch v9.0 SCADA software to connect an OPC client to an OPC server. It describes creating tags in the OPC server, defining a topic in OPC Link to connect the client and server, adding an access name in Intouch to reference the topic, and then creating a tag in Intouch linked to the OPC server tag to display live data. The document guides the user through each step to set up the connection between the applications.
