Hello!
I’m trying to connect a Proface STM6000 to Ignition.
This system is OPC-UA server. I can check the connexion succesfully using UAExpert.
But the connexion to Ignition is not stable. Maybe a link configuration problem?
Has anyone already worked on this product?
Thanks for your help!
What version of Ignition are you using? What's does "not stable" mean? What's in the logs?
Hello Kevin.
I'm working on the trial version of Ignition.
I've already worked successfully on B&R equipment.
Now I try to connect our Proface STM6000.
You will find attached pictures describing my project:
The STM6000 configuration (OPC-UA server on port 4840).
The result on UAExpert (it works fine).
The result on Ignition trial (connection is not stable, it switches slowly between "connected" and "not connected" states).
I used Modbus TCP driver, but maybe this is a bad choice.
Could you please help me on this subject?
Thanks!
If you are using modbus TCP, why are you showing us OPC-UA settings?
Your connection has nothing set up for OPC-UA, if you were intending to use OPC-UA, maybe follow the OPC-UA connection documentation?
I tried OPCUA configuration as you are suggesting.
In this case connexion is stable, but I cannot see any variable in the browser (no security option selected on both side).
Can you show us the browser?
It would be interesting to see a screenshot of the attributes and references pane while the Objects node is selected in UaExpert.
Based on the name of those variables (Alarm...) it might be possible this server's data model is using only non-hierarchical reference types, which Ignition does not browse for.
