@pturmel

Thank you both for your quick replies.

My ignition edge version is 8.1.21.

And I'm sorry I'm a little confused. I understand now that it is not a module but a plugin. Do I need to install different plugins? The only thing I care about is `Ignition Edge IIoT exposes Edge's OPC UA server to external OPC UA clients.`
