OPC UA Connections

iFIX offers an OPC UA Client Driver option that allows you to connect to OPC UA Servers. To use this feature in Configuration Hub, your running iFIX SCADA node must be licensed for this option.

Note: At this time, Configuration Hub does not support browsing the OUA driver in the Database panel.

Click New to create a new connection. Type in a unique server name and the end point URL of your OPC UA Server. To test the connection, click the Test button. Click the Create button to create the connection for use.

After your connection is created, it appears in the table. Click the ellipsis (...) to the right of your entry to interact with the server.

From the popup menu, select Browse to browse the hierarchy available in the OPC UA Server.

From here you can select individual tags to populate your iFIX Database, or select higher level object and create a new object type for your iFIX model. For example, you can right-click on an Object row to bring up a sub-menu, and then select Create Type.
