Creating OPC data sources
The data source input mask opens, in which you can select the OPC data source as "Type" as a first step.
However, if you first assign a name to the data source and if this contains the word "opc", then "OPC" is already
preselected as the data source type. (This works with all data source types)
After this, the data source-specific settings adapt automatically to the OPC data source.
OPC Specific:
- Connection type
Here you can choose between OPC “Classic” DA and OPC “UA”.
- Discovery URL
The Discovery URL connects you to the server and provides information about which destination addresses are available with which settings.
- Endpoint URL
The endpoint URL describes the server network address.
- Security mode
Various security modes for communication with the server.
You can choose between "None", "Sign" and "Sign & Encrypt".
- Authentication
This regulates the possibilities of authentication.
You can choose between "Anonymous", "UserName" and "Certificate".
