What version of Ignition are you using?

In some of the older versions an oversight my some of the core UA status nodes disappear, and the Prosys SDK blows up when it can’t find them.

3

Thanks ,The version is the latest Ignition-7.5.0

4

The latest is actually 7.5.1 now… give that a try and if it doesn’t work I’ll take a look. I’ve been working on UA compliance stuff between 7.5.0 and 7.5.1, so there’s a chance it was fixed between those versions.

5

There is also with problem with the version 7.5.1,The message is below

Are you trying to connect to a prosys client or a server? The original issue was connecting using the ua client to Ignition, where as the error message you are seeing appears to be coming from Ignition trying to make a connection to a UA server.
Basically the error message you are seeing is saying that we are trying to make a connection to the address you specified but for some reason the connection cannot be established.
What I would suggest is that if you’re still having an issue with this then to start a new thread regarding the issue you are having and post as many details about your connection as possible.
