Is it possible to have Ignition as OPC UA server and simulate values for third party software like kepware, matrikon, etc. through OPC UA client

We need to make Ignition as OPC UA SERVER and communicate with clients through only OPC UA not through OPC DA.

Can you confirm me this ASAP

There are a couple very rudimentary “simulator” drivers that are part of the AB driver module you could use for this. There’s no control over what values are present or what their values are, but… it’s something.
