Hello,

Is possible to have a third party opc ua client connected to ignition and limit the visibility of tags in this third party opc ua client?

In my project I have around 500 tags. Our customer is connected with a third party opc ua client but our customer only wants to know the status of around 10 tags, is it possible to change this “visibility” of the tags? I mean is it possible to enable some “flag” indicating that only this tags should be shared?

I am using 8.0.12.

Thank you!

No. Exposing tags has always been all or nothing. I recall some discussions of improving this but I don’t recall how it turned out.
