Need Help on OPC UA. It Gets Faulted

Ignition
1

I just installed Ignition 8 web based trial application and I already set up connection to my CopactLogix PLC and it is connected now. But I have a problem to set up OPC UA.
It keeps showing me faulted in status in the last page. I have tried many addresses in endpoint and other fields but the same problem. My host IP is 192.168.0.1
I entered as:

  • Discovery URL: opc.tcp://localhost:62541/discovery
  • Endpoint URL: opc.tcp://localhost:62541
  • Endpoint Host Override:
  • Endpoint Security Mode: SignAndEncrypt
  • Endpoint Security Policy: Basic256Sha256

I turned off windows 7 firewall and Avast antivirus but what ever I enter as different port or IP address it does not pass and says:

UaException: status=Bad_ConnectionRejected, message=io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information: /192.168.0.11:62541

Also It shows:

OPC01

Few things…

Why are you trying to set up another loopback connection?

You said your IP is 192.168.0.1 but the error message says it’s connecting to 192.168.0.11.

The screenshot shows a different error message from connection “My_OPC4”, Bad_UserAccessDenied, which means it’s getting connected but you haven’t configured the right username and password.

So what’s the actual state of things? What are you trying to do?

I need to mention that the second one (Ignition OPC UA Server) is working properly. But I tried to set up another OPC with different name and it keeps getting faulted.

First I tried the IP 192.168.0.1 and it told me Access Dnied message as the attached photo.

Then I tried CPU IP address which is 192.168.0.11 and it told me
UaException: status=Bad_ConnectionRejected, message=io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information: /192.168.0.11:62541

I assume you're just trying to make another OPC UA connection to Ignition's built-in OPC UA server for the sake of experimentation? If so, you need to provide a username and password when configuring it. By default it is opcuauser / password.

Yes. I am doing experiment and practice. :blush:
Where should I use these username and password to create another one?
I go to OPC Client-> OPC Connection → Create new OPC → OPC UA

Then, it asks me Endpoint URL. I will face the same problem when I enter aforesaid address and IP. Where is the username and password?

It’s on the screen you get to after this discovery flow. Try “localhost” instead of using your IP address.

I saw the fields and now it is OK as I entered the same username and password you told me. Appreciate you.
Where can I change the username and password?
