I am trying to put the data points of OPC UA Server in the GENESIS64 Data Browser but it is showing blank even after refreshing and restarting the system. I cannot find the OPC UA tags anywhere else like Favorites or Network.
How do I get the OPC UA tags on my GraphWorX64 screens?
First, follow the steps in the applicaiton note entitled GENESIS64 - Connecting to Third Party OPC UA Servers. If you cannot browse for data after that, continue to the rest of this article.
To enable OPC UA browsing:
1) Go to Start -> ICONICS -> ICONICS OPC Server Suite 5 -> OPC UA Configuration.
2) On the Server Endpoints tab, select an item and click Edit. Uncheck both boxes in the Security Policies section (leaving None checked).
3) Repeat step 2 for each item on the Server Endpoints tab.
4) Go to the Trusted Servers tab and add the ICONICS FrameWorX server, then click Close.
5) Open GraphWorX64, add a process point. The Data Browser should open.
6) Instead of browsing for a server, enter this address into the address bar, then click Enter (replace "NODENAME" with the name or IP address of the machine where the OPC Server Suite is located):
opc.tcp://NODENAME:49460\\
To enable OPC DA browsing:
1) Go to ICONICS -> ICONICS OPC Server Suite 5 -> ICONICS OPC UA Server 5 - Administration
right-click and then select Settings
2) Click on Runtime Process tab and from the drop down menu select "System service", if it is not already selected.
3) Click on Configuration tab and check the box "Allow runtime to accept remote connections"
4) Click on OK to save changes
5) Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
6) Double-click on the "ICONICS OPC Server Suite 5.3" service and go to the Log On tab. Pick "This account", choose the same account that is running your other ICONICS services (Gen64User, by default) and fill in that user's password.
7) Click OK.
8) Right-click on the "ICONICS OPC Server Suite 5.3" and select Restart.
If the above steps do not help OPC DA browsing, try these:
1) Go to Start -> Run and type “dcomcnfg”
2) Expand Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config Folder
3) Right click on ICONICS OPC Server Suite v5.3 and select properties
4) Go to the Security Tab
5) Change the Access permissions from customize to Use Default and click OK
6) Right click on the OPC Server icon in the taskbar near the clock and select Stop Runtime, and then start it again with Start Runtime
