Hi, I’ve successfully connected a third party opc-ua server based on Unified Automation SDK. On te gateway web page and using the Quick Client, I can read/write tags with no problem. When using the Designer and dragging a single tag, the tag is correctly created with the right OPC server and item path but the value is “[null, Error\_Configuration, Mon Dec 17 17:49:41 CET 2018]”. Dat type is also correct and there is no message in the designer console nor the designer log viewer. Note: this is working well with the 7.9.10 OPC client. Any idea? ---

Can you verify this happens on the latest nightly build? ---

What’s the datatype of the Node in the UA server? I’ll see if I can reproduce this against their demo server. ---

It’s not their UA demo server but one built using their sdk. I’ll send a link to download the OPC server. ---

There’s something wrong with the server - it just returns a StatusCode of “Bad” in response to the CreateMonitoredItemsRequest. It behaves the same way if you subscribe using UaExpert. ---

Well, we’ll see that with the PLC vendor; I’ll be back to you then. Thanks Kevin.
