OPC DA to UA client migration for PME

PME supports both OPC DA and OPC UA client at same time without any interruptions.

NOTE: The server should support the OPC UA protocol to support OPC UA communication.

You can migrate from OPC DA to OPC UA client:

1. Edit the existing OPC DA site.

2. Update the Name, Address, Username, Password, Security Policy and Message Security Mode for OPC UA site configuration.

   

3. Replace the existing OPC DA device type tags to OPC UA tags in Device Type Editor.

   For example: If the OPC DA tag is .Powers.Real_Power, change it to OPC UA tag .ns=3;s=MyGroup.PM8000Sim..Powers.Real_Power.

   NOTE: When entering a tag, only specify the tag name, with a leading period (.), do not include the OPC server or device name.

4. Save and install the OPC UA Device.

5. Select Tools > System > Update OPC Server in management console.
