Node OPC-UA does not work

Hello,
I have been developing a OPC-UA server for 2 months and worked fine with UA expert and some other clients but now i have a problem with Ignition. I can read all the variables names and folders on the server but the value is always null and the status is stale. In the ignition log it says this

org.eclipse.milo.opcua.stack.core.UaSerializationException: max array length exceeded (length=66003, max=65535)

I can't find any option to configure this and i am not trying to read an array.
Thanks for any help that you could provide, i have been trying to solve this for a couple of days but i couldn find anything.

What version of Ignition are you using?

Can you get a Wireshark capture of the OPC UA traffic between Ignition and your server?

I am using Ignition 7.9.7, these are the traffic request and response traces:

I tried it also as a boolean and int32 but same results.

Thanks a lot.

Can you attach an actual capture (cap/pcap) file?

Nevermind, I’m pretty sure you’re running into this issue.

It’s fixed in Milo 0.2.1 but Ignition is currently using 0.2.0. I can build and email you an updated OPC UA module if you’d like. PM me the email address to send it to.

Thank you! that would be great, i was exporting the pcap file but i have not enought rank to upload it.

Ill sent you the pm.
Edit: How do you send a PM? i can not find it

Click on a username, then click Message. Maybe there’s some permissions preventing you from being able to send them yet.

I sent the module to the email address you registered your account with.

Thanks a lot, Did you sent it? i am checking the e-mail but I have not received it yet

I did, maybe it’s getting filtered…

Yep, your email server bounced it back. I’ll have to upload it somewhere.

After ugrading to Ignition 7.9.7, I have similar issues with one of my onboard OPC UA servers (Lenze PLC, CodeSys based). This was not a problem in Ignition 7.9.5. So I ended up downgrading.

If I add to many tags at the same time, I get the following error message in the log.
“org.eclipse.milo.opcua.stack.core.UaSerializationException: request exceeds remote max message size: 134327 > 65535”

Thanks a lot, it worked fine.

Is the switch to Milo-0.2.1 going to be in v7.9.8?

I don't think that's the same issue.

Yes, snuck it in there...
