Hello, I am writing this to see if anyone has successfully created an OPC server between DeviceXplorer and ignition. I am attempting to do this and am running into many problems and could you use some tips. Thank you.

Reading the Docs I can find on DXP it seems to indicate that it provides an OPC-UA server.  
Have you tried adding this in the OPC Connections section of the gateway? if so, what errors are you getting?

I have added and OPC-UA server and connected it to gateway but am only getting a faulted connection. I have configured the certificates properly so i'm not sure what's wrong.

We aren't either.

You'll need to answer this, in detail.
