Start a new thread. Include information about the server you're trying to connect to (endpoint URL, etc...), what you've tried already, what's not working, and any error messages or logs.

If you haven't seen this page in the docs yet, try going over this as well: [Connecting to Kepware OPC UA - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Connecting+to+Kepware+OPC+UA)

The process is similar for most servers.
