OPC UA

The OPC plug-in connects the OPC Router to any number of accessible OPC servers.

If the OPC server is running on another computer in the network, ...

  • ... the router must be approved as a "Trusted Client" on the OPC server for OPC UA, provided that a corresponding security level is set on the OPC server.

OPC connections, UA specification

Operation is standard:

  1. Open the plug-in by clicking on "OPC-UA Client" in the "Plug-ins" menu.
  2. Click on the plus button or double-click on an existing entry.
  3. Make the necessary settings (see section "Properties of OPC UA connections").
  4. Use the "Test connection" button to initialize an initial connection. If a corresponding security level is set on the OPC server, the connection will fail. You must then approve the OPC router on the OPC server as a trusted client. If necessary, reinitialize your OPC server. Test again to see if the connection was successful.
  5. Confirm with "OK."

The OPC client is now available for connection configuration.
