Adding the OPC UA network

An OPC UA network manages OPC UA devices, points, alarms and histories.

  • The opcUaCore and opcUaClient modules are in the My Modules folder.

  • The controller is licensed with the opcUaClient feature.

  • You are connected to the Internet and working in Workbench running on a PC or laptop computer.

  1. Connect to the controller station.
  2. Open the opcUaClient palette (click the folder icon in the Palette sidebar).
  3. In the Workbench Nav tree, expand Config and double-click on the Drivers folder.
    The Driver Manager opens.
  4. To add the network, click New.
    The New window opens.
  5. Select OpcUaNetwork from the drop-down list and click OK.

The driver adds the OpcUaNetwork to the station’s Driver Manager. The driver enables the network by default. If this is an initial network setup, network Status will likely be {down} until you add an OPC UA device and configure the server connection.
