When you add device to OPC server you should get a tag structure like so. modbus

These tags are always in “Bad_Stale” :

But on the gateway Opcua Devices webpage, I’m able to see the correct status:

I’ve tried using script to fill a power table with the device status:
event.source.parent.getComponent('pwtDeviceStatus').data = system.device.listDevices()

And this is working well:

But I still don’t know how to create an alarm based on the state being different than “Connected”.

Thanks for your help !

It’s all good, my mistake was that the “default” tag group was deleted, so the tags were not subsribable.
