Is it possible to make a connection from Ignition Edge to the Allen Bradley emulator? I have them on separate VM’s and I am trying to do some testing before I go on site.

Saw a post about using an OPC-DA server, but when I tried to do that in Edge I did not have the option for a DA server. Only a UA server.

If this is not possible, any other suggested methods of testing would appreciated!

If Kepware can make a connection to the emulator then you could make an OPC UA connection from Ignition to Kepware to get the data.
