opcUaServer-OpcUaNamespace

This component provides a standard method for an OPC UA server to represent objects to OPC UA clients. It defines objects in terms of variables and applicable attributes. It typically provides a logical grouping of OPC UA variables, histories, and events that can be accessed by an OPC UA client.

To add server points to the OPC UA server, first add a namespace component. Within this namespace discover points and add then points to the namespace. Once that is done, an OPC UA client can connect to the OPC UA server and subscribe to all these points for monitoring.

This component is found in the opcUaServer palette.
