I have a bunch of Booleans in a Beckhoff program used as permissive / interlocks. These are being exposed to the OPC UA server which Ignition is connected to. One cool thing is that the comments of each Bool that explains each interlock is also pulled into the OPC server in the "description" attribute.
I am trying to create a perspective screen that given a path to an OPC node, will browse all the booleans variables in that node and pull their values and descriptions. I got the script part working in the script console, but when transferring it to perspective components it broke because the system.opc.browseServer() returns a different object if you are not calling it in the vision client (and I assume script console due to my experience) according to the documentation.
In short, the OPCBrowseElement object has a getDescription accessor, but the PyOPCTagEx lacks this functionality. Can I ask what is the reasoning for this? Will there ever be a chance I can access the description attribute from an OPC server within the perspective scope?
