OPC Server Configuration
To acess the OPC Tools, go to Data Explorer → OPC Tools
Solution OPC Server
Configure OPC Servers and those specifically tailored to your solution. These servers form the backbone of your system's communication with external devices and other systems.
Start/Stop Options: Easily start or stop your OPC Servers.
Configuration Helper
Endpoints
Configurate your OPC UA adding the URL
| Network Apapter | Specify the network adapter to be used by the server |
|---|---|
| Ip Address | Define the IP address for server communication |
| Port | Assign the port number for server connectivity |
| Secutiy Policies | Chose the secutiry Police for the communication |
| Allow Anonumous Logon | Allows logins without credentials |
| Import Client Certificate | Select the file certificate for client verification |
| Trust Client Certificate | Auto trust client certificates. |
| Server Certificate | Manage and configure the server certificate. You can also export the Server Certificate |
OPC UA Simulator
Simulate OPC UA server operations for testing and validating your solution communication without the need for a live server.
Start/Stop Options: Easily start or stop your OPC Servers.
Configuration Options
| Server URL | Define the URL for the simulated server |
|---|---|
| Port | Set the port number for the simulated server |
| Minimized | Enable the simulator runs in a minimized state |
| AutoStart | Enable the simulator to start automatically |
| AutoTrustCertificate | Automatically trust certificates in the simulation environment |
The simulator also generates a configuration file, providing a tangible resource for your settings.
Solution Configuration
This segment would provide details on configuring solution-specific parameters, likely including connections to internal OPC servers and defining solution-wide settings.
External OPC Server
Configure connections to external OPC Servers for broader communication capabilities.
| URL | endpoint URL for the OPC UA server |
|---|---|
| Discovery | Click this button to discover available OPC UA servers on the network. |
| User Name | Enter the username for server access if the server requires user authentication |
| Password | Input the corresponding password for the username |
| Certificate | Select 'Custom' to use a specific certificate for the connection, or 'Default' to use the default certificate |
| Refresh Rate | Rate in milliseconds at which the server will refresh the data |
