I am using an Opto 22 EPIC PR1 device running Ignition Edge 8.1.7 (Trial Licence Version).
I have a project which needs to achieve the following:
Obtain data from an OPC-UA Server connected to one IP port of the EPIC, subnet1
Publish this data to an MQTT Broker on a device connected to 2nd IP port of the EPIC, subnet2
Make the SAME data available to an OPC-UA Client on the same device connected to 2nd IP port of the EPIC.
I have achieved 1 and 2 already using Edge OPC-UA Client and MQTT Transmission, but I am struggling to work out how to do 3.
I was pointed in the direction of a post from last year, that mentioned IIoT Plugin to expose the data to a 3rd party OPC-UA Client: Ignition Edge 8.1 - OPC UA Server Capabilites
But this doesnât address how to âtransferâ the data from the OPC-UA Client to the OPC-UA Server on the EPIC.
Can this actually be achieved, or am I trying to achieve the impossible?
If Iâm understanding the setup correctly, you have a bunch of OPC tags created in Ignition at this point, and you want some other 3rd party OPC UA client to see those tags and be able to consume them?
