Hello, I am trying to find how to expose project tags from any OPC Client i.e Project tags to OPC UA server client. Thanks ---

Thanks. The OPC Server has an advanced "Exposed Tags" feature, that exposes all of the tag providers contents. > **[Ignition's OPC UA Server | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/opc-ua/ignitions-opc-ua-server#opc-ua-server-settings)** > > Ignition's OPC UA server, provided by the OPC UA module, allows an ignition installation to utilize Ignition's various device driver modules. In addition, with the module installed, OPC UA clients can connect to Ignition's UA server, exposing any... Note, projects do not have tags. The gateway as a whole has tags, and they all get exposed. ---

Hello @pturmel thanks for you help it helped me get all Tags created in gateway. One last question is there a way where we can configure which tags needs to be exposed. ---

> [@Kartik\_I](#): > > can configure which tags needs to be exposed. > [@pturmel](#): > > they all get exposed. If you need to expose only a limited set of variables, consider using a protocol server driver instead of OPC, such as my Advanced Modbus driver's Modbus Server, or my EtherNet/IP driver's Host device, which can serve as targets for external systems. (Using Modbus or Logix-style EtherNet/IP, respectively.) I also recommend my Integration Toolkit's new Republish "Tag Actor" to push values from tags to such protocol server instances. ---

Does it also expose any remote tag providers or just standard ? ---

It doesn't expose any tag providers to OPC at all. Just whatever tags you deliberately publish to the modbus address space in the server device.
