Problems accessing Kepware Tags

Ignition
1

Hi, I’m trying to access my Kepware Tags via Ignition Designer and when doing so I get the following error:

Error browsing OPC.

When I click on details I get:

GatewayException: java.lang.NullPointerException
caused by ExecutionException: java.lang.NullPointerException
caused by NullPointerException

Ignition v7.9.0 (b2016101208)
Java: Oracle Corporation 1.8.0_131

Any ideas on what is causing this? Please let me know.

Thank you.

Can you upgrade Ignition to 7.9.3?

Hi Kevin,

I think I can try upgrading. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Hi,

So I did the upgrade to 7.9.3, and now received an OPC connection error.

So we’ve lost connection to our PLC’s. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Try re-discovering the endpoints again: on the connection configuration page in the gateway, click the “More” button, then “endpoints”.
