Issue with 8.3 BETA - OPC UA Extension Object Issue

Mohit_Agarwal · August 5, 2025, 3:13pm

Hi,

The context is related to the following ticket which was submitted earlier: AddHttps://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us/requests/125394 (Not able to provide it as a link, hence replace AddHttps with https to read the content).

Proposed Solution in 2024: Wait and use 8.3 BETA.

I have downloaded the 8.3 BETA, but I am still facing the issue when I connect the OPC UA Joining System Simulator. The Result object is showing just Binary Stream.

Refer to the simulator links below.

Steps to Reproduce:
Connect to the OPC_UA_IJT_Server_Simulator_New_RC_1.01.0.zip given in the above/below links.
Read to the variable: ns=1;s=TighteningSystem/ResultManagement/Results/Result from Ignition OPC Tags.

Strange Observation: The Ignition 8.3 BETA is working with OPC 40450-1 version 1.00.0 NodeSet but NOT working with OPC 40450-1 version 1.01.0 NodeSet where there is NO change in the ResultDataType.

OPC UA Joining 40450-1 v1.00.0 Simulator: https://github.com/umati/UA-for-Industrial-Joining-Technologies/blob/f412969b395edcc88fe5f1e7e2a4f8be05b8a315/OPC_UA_Servers/Release2/**OPC_UA_IJT_Server_Simulator.zip**
**This is working where Result extension data content is readable. The same is NOT working with below where there is NO change to ResultDataType.
OPC UA Joining 40450-1 v1.01.0 Simulator: https://github.com/umati/UA-for-Industrial-Joining-Technologies/blob/f412969b395edcc88fe5f1e7e2a4f8be05b8a315/OPC_UA_Servers/Release2/**OPC_UA_IJT_Server_Simulator_New_RC_1.01.0.zip**
** The ONLY difference in 1.01.0 version is:
** It uses latest OPC 1.05.04 NodeSet and some new methods and event types are defined in the IJT Base NodeSet. But, no change to the ResultDataType structure mentioned.

Thansk a lot in advance.

Best regards,
Mohit Agarwal

I know this because of your support ticket: you upgraded from 8.1, which means the existing OPC UA connection you had will continue to use the legacy datatype dictionary mechanism.

Go edit this OPC UA connection and uncheck that option. Your result types should be supported after that.

Thanks Kevin,
I deleted old connections and trying to create new connections. The new setup has security options as Required and throws Password not configured error.

What password do we provide here as my OPC UA Server does NOT have any username password support?

Click "None".

Don't touch the one for the KeyStore.

ok, i selected none and also username had to be left empty

Thanks a lot for your quick response and help.
I am able to read the structure data completely now after creating a new connection.
