Configuring FactoryTalk Optix as an OPC UA Server and Client | Tech Support

Nate Kay, Systems Engineer with McNaughton-McKay, demonstrates how to configure FactoryTalk® Optix™ as both an OPC UA server and an OPC UA client. Follow this simple, step-by-step guide that takes you through both configuration processes, including checking the security policies between servers and clients, starting the Optix runtime to confirm functionality, and using the Tag Importer feature that enables the OPC UA client to browse, import and modify the variables published by the OPC UA server in real-time. With the proper connection, users can have bi-directional communication between the OPC UA server and the OPC UA client.
