OPC UA Connection to Schneider Modicon M241 - Connection Rejected

Ignition
1

Have a Schneider M241 that was happily communicating with Ignition for some time and then after a power cycle of the M241, just decided to stop communicating.

UaException: status=Bad_ConnectionRejected, message=io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused: no further information: /10.80.58.1:4840

We have a ton of other devices that are still communicating OPC/UA so doesn't look like a Module issue.

Have configured and reconfigured and configured again on the M241, tried changing ports on both ends, still get connection refused.

Have posted to Schneider forums without response so figured I'd give it a shot here.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Your Ignition configuration looks fine to me. I've never set up this Schneider software but it also looks fine.

The error your getting is a low level network error. Usually it's either the server just isn't running, or a firewall is blocking your attempt to connect.

We have another Schneider PLC on the network that is communicating perfectly fine. Downloaded and compared configuration files for both systems, not seeing any differences.

I only got it to connect after adding OPC UA Symbol Configuration object.

Resolution was reloading firmware on the Scheider device. Not an Iggy issue.
