Generally not much since it's an 8.1.x to 8.1.x version, but you know... things can go wrong. People who are truly concerned about such things have separate dev/testing environments.
Make sure you take a gateway backup before the upgrade. It's relatively easy to get back to the version you were on if things go wrong.

for my current version is not possible to communicate with KV-8000?
If you can use the onboard OPC UA server that the KV-8000 is supposed to have that will be an option. I don't know any more about that other than it's supposed to exist, you'll have to check the documentation. You would just make a direct OPC UA connection instead of using a driver.
oh right , i’ll try with upgrading the current version. i have a local server in my personal PC but i have the version 8.1.38 , the setup its only putting the IP Target of PLC?
First i’ll do tests on my PC
Kevin is suggesting that you enable the OPC-UA server in the PLC. Make a note of the settings and any security details.
In Ignition you create an OPC Connection (not a Device Connection).
If you use the Advanced Options you'll see a dialog like this,
... but steping through the prompts is usually easier.
What you're doing here is making Ignition a client of the OPC-UA server on the PLC. (Choose UA, not DA which is obsolete.)
