OPC Connection Fault - Type "Production_ServerType" is not a known server type

Hi all,

Quick question about something that is not stopping me to work but is a bit annoying and not clean.
When I first installed Ignition, I added the some Sepasoft modules to try OEE etc, and following the demo example I installed the simulation “Production” OPC Connection.

Now some time ago I tried to remove it but I probably did something wrong and since then I keep getting a OPC Connection Fault error.


this is the fault description

java.lang.Exception: OPC server connection is faulted. Type "Production_ServerType" is not a known server type.

Is there a way to fix this and remove it properly?

Thank you

You’ll have to re-install the OEE module, then delete that OPC connection. And then you can uninstall the OEE module cleanly.
