Configuration File
When you install the PROFInet OPC Server for SIMATIC NET, a configuration file is installed. For special adaptations, it may be necessary to modify the factory settings contained in the configuration file.

The configuration file of the OPC Server is structured in the same way as an “ini” file of Windows; in other words, a text file with the extension “txt”.
The individual sections are labeled with section names. Each section name is set in square brackets ( [ ] ).
Following the section name, there are assignments of the type “parameter=value”.
Comments within the file are preceded by a semicolon.
The configuration file begins with a section for general protocol definition.
These are followed by sections for the parameter assignment of the connections to the configured communications partners. They contain the IP address and the PROFInet device name.
