I have had some issues losing Data. We lose connection for about 10 minutes then it is restored. This has become a daily occurrence. My plan was to use the Server >> ServerStatus >> State to monitor the Ignition OPC-UA Server connection. However, when I copy the item path it returns {ns=0;i=2259}. Is there a reference/manual that enunciates what these Diagnostic values mean?
Are you asking for something that defines what the values of the ServerState enum mean?
If so, UA Part 5: Information Model - 12.6 ServerState
If you're just interested in whether or not you are connected, there are already system tags associated with every OPC connection that you can monitor instead. See System Tags | Ignition User Manual
12.6 ServerState is precisely what I need!
Is there a reason that I cannot drag and drop the tag into a Numeric Text Field?
Are you dragging it from the OPC Browser or from the Tag Browser?
OPC Browser
Ok, that probably just shouldn't even be allowed by the Designer UI.
You need to drag it into the Tag Browser first or otherwise make an Ignition tag.
Then you can drag the Ignition tag onto your Window.
