PLC<->KepServer<->IRC5 OPC Server<->RobotStudio - Connection Problem

Hello, 

I am working on  my own project of the virtual station. I want to control a virtual model, simulated in RobotStudio version 6.00. by PLC. I prepare smart components, robot controler with PC-Interface and I/O tags inside the controller. 

In  I/O System of robot controller i added one digital input and output, then connect it to smart component signals. In IRC5 OPC server i create new alias



For now i think everything is ok :smile:

Then i try to connect IRC5 OPC Server with KepServer and i can see only one variable "InterfaceState" with value "2".

 

Maybe somone had the same problem and know how to solve it or what is the reason of this situation why we do not have all I/O tags from controller. 

I read about OPC Smart Component but it is made for version 6.01 so it is incompatible with my RobotStudio. 



Thanks in advance for your help

Best Regards
Mateusz
