Hello all, I just installed FactoryTalk Linx Gateway 6.0, and I set up a new UA server in Ignition. It shows connected. If I use the OPC Quick Client from the gateway, I can see the PLC tags, read and write to them. Then I go to the designer, I use the OPC browser, find my tags and drag and drop them onto my Tags Browser, but I get a Config Error. Am I doing something wrong? Ignition 7.9.4. Thanks, T. ---

This version now contains the new OPC-UA driver along side the OPC-DA driver. Being a beta tester for this product, I noticed early on it was a bit buggy, unfortunately. One really annoying bug is that all the OPC tags are doubled in the Ignition OPC Browser… every folder and every tag are displayed twice. I also conducted some rudimentary round trip testing on single tags and the Ignition OPC-UA d… ---

Hello, thank you for the reply. I had read that post. In fact, it is what moved me to try version 6.00, to try the OPC-UA. But if the problem were in the Factory Talk Linx Gateway, I would expect the issue to show up in the Quick OPC Browser as well. Since I can brose and operate from the gateway, I expect the issue to be somewhere between the gateway and the designer, either a bug, a setting I don’t know about, or a mistake from my part. Hasn’t anybody else tried the Linx Gateway? Regards, T. ---

Hi iluntasun… For what it’s worth, I am able to drag and drop tags from the OPC Browser without a config error. They read/write without issue. Not sure what your particular config error might be. Perhaps the logs can give a hint. EDIT: I am running 7.9.7 Cheers, Steve ---

The first time I set up RSLinx Classic and made a connection using the OPC-DA module I was experiencing the same problem. I could browse tags but dragging and dropping them into the tag editor I would get null data. They were even showing up in RSLinx as active items but still configuration errors. In the gateway logs I found entries that stated this was likely to do with DCOM security. I added the security settings according to this article: [https://support.inductiveautomation.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/4/0/setting-up-and-troubleshooting-opc-com-connections](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/4/0/setting-up-and-troubleshooting-opc-com-connections) that and a reboot and everything started working. Hope it works for you.
