Hello,
In Wonderware System Platform you can configure communication to several PLCs in different ways, and I am interested which is "best practice"?
Let's say we have 1 PC and 10 PLC. Each PLC has 2 update intervals. Config options:
I use 1st option, but it's pain in the neck to configure 20 topics in small window of DDESuiteLinkClient, so I've thought maybe I'm doing something wrong...
TL/DR: How do you guys configure multi PLC communication in Wonderware?

Let's say we have 1 PC and 10 PLC. Each PLC has 2 update intervals. Config options:
- In SMC - One instance of SIDIR server with 10 nodes configured. Each node has 2 Device Groups. In ArchestrA - One DDESuiteLinkClient with 10*2=20 topics configured.
- In SMC - One instance of SIDIR server with 10 nodes configured. Each node has 2 Device Groups. In ArchestrA - 10 DDESuiteLinkClients each with 2 topics configured.
- In SMC - 10 instances of SIDIR server each with 1 node configured. In ArchestrA - 10 DDESuiteLinkClients each with 2 topics configured.
