Hello,

Is there a way to retrieve data in an OPC-HDA server in Ignition ?  
Can the following be possible :  
OPC-DA/HDA (COM) \<==\> DA/HDA-UA WRAPPER (ex. Matrikon) \<==\> IGNITION OPC-UA (with historical data) ?

Regards,

Sorry, no, our OPC-UA implementation doesn’t include any of the historical capabilities.

This is something we’d like to support in the future.

Any updates on this capability? I have an OPC-HDA compliant server I’m trying to get data from for display in Ignition.

I think the OPC-COM module now adds a historical provider type that can pull from OPC-HDA servers.
