Adding a New Device

To add a new Device go to the "Devices" section of the OPC-UA module configuration in the Ignition Gateway.  Click "Add a Device..." and you will be taken to a page where you can select the driver to use.  Choose your driver and click the "Next" button.

 

"General" settings common to all devices are as follows:

 

Device Name

The user-defined name for this Device.  The name chosen will show up in OPC Item Paths and under the "Devices" folder on the OPC-UA server.

 

The Device Name must be alphanumeric.

Browse Timeout

Amount of time (in milliseconds) before a browse operation on this device times out.

Read Timeout

Amount of time (in milliseconds) before a read operation on this device times out.

Write Timeout

Amount of time (in milliseconds) before a write operation on this device times out.

Enable Device

Only devices that are enabled will appear in the "Devices" folder of the OPC-UA server and thus have their tags available for use.
