Beckhoff OPC Server

Beckhoff OPC Server

Hi!
I am relative new with SCADAs.
I use VipWin 6.01 sp2 and make a project with Beckhoff cx9010-1001 plc. Connection between is through ethernet. I install TwinCAT OPC server on the machine where is scada. Defined TwinCAT OPC Server, try it with TwinCAT client and it works, see all plc inputs.
In VipWin I defined a new driver (Festo OPC Easy Client / OPCDRV32 and in configuration added OPC Server: BECKHOFF.TwinCATOpcServerDA). I added few variables from this OPC to variables (I see them all), and linked with the numerical value (put variable on picture).
When I start runtime, in the numerical field i see maximal value and no changing.
If I click in on the small Driver icon in Taskbar (small blue F icon), select Diagnostics and in field Last error write: AddItems failed:the parameter is incorrect. On the Tab Variables is the above mentioned variable with status:The item definition doesnt conform to the server syntax.
Do you have solution to this problem, where is the bug?
Thanks.
Best regards
Albert Nemet
