I am trying to configure an additional OPC-UA connection in the Ignition gateway (other than the default one) to test a few things. How can I assign the right port for that server, I tried a few of the ports but I keep getting this error
"Error looking up servers". Anyone has experience with setting up two OPC UA servers in Ignition?
Setting up two connections and setting up two servers are different things.
What are you actually trying to do? Make a connection to some other OPC UA server?
setting up two servers
Well, you can't have two Ignition OPC UA servers, if that's what you're attempting.
You can have two connections to the one server, but not two instances of the server running.
You need to be much more clear about what you are trying to achieve and why you think you need to do it this way.
OPC UA server
The OPC UA server assumes the responsibility of providing data and resources, acting as the central hub for information retrieval and distribution.
Ignition has an OPC UA server built in but there are many others produced by companies such as Kepware, Matrikon, etc., which are only OPC UA servers and don't have the many other features of Ignition such as Vision, Perspective, Historian, Reports, etc.
A common requirement is to add a third-party OPC UA server for a protocol not included in Ignition's set of drivers. These will happily coexist on the one OS installation.
