OPCUA Client

PLCnext Engineer
1

Hi Team,
Iv having a bit of an issue with setting up the new OPCUA Client in the 2023 FW.
I have also upgraded the PLCNEXT Engineer to 2023.0 revs.

This feature is because I need to map this to an existing HMI that is only an OPCUA Sever and can not be a client.

Does anyone have a working demo or tutorial to go through this?

This topic is under investigation by global support team at HQ under priority status. They are now testing this new feature by themselves and creating proper documentation to be shared with users.

The first version of the Makers Blog article linked above had a few bugs, so anyone who was quick off the mark may have had problems making it work. It should be good now.
