How to Configure OPC-UA
There are two parts to configuring the TOP Server for OPC-UA connections; Server Configuration
and Security Configuration.
Server Configuration:
The first part to OPC-UA configuration can be found in
the TOP Server Configuration under the Project
Properties. Click on the Project Properties then go to
the OPC UA tab as shown.
You will want to make
sure the Server
Interface is
Enabled. Only set the
Log diagnostics to Yes
during troubleshooting
connection issue. The
Client Sessions and
Browsing sections are
described in detail in
the help file and control
how the TOP Server
behaves when OPC UA
Clients attempt to
connect to the TOP
Server.
Security Configuration:
OPC UA Security configuration can be found from the Administration Icon along with TOP Server’s
other security features. This part of the configuration is needed if connecting with any OPC UA
Client or the TOP Server OPC UA Client Driver.
Right Click on the Icon and the Administration menu will be
shown.
Select OPC UA Configuration from the menu to open the
OPC UA Configuration Manager window as shown
below. You must have administrative privileges on the
Operating System to be able to access this part of the
configuration.
