OPC UA measurement support

OPC UA measurement support for Power Monitoring Expert allows you to easily translate data from ION devices and compatible Modbus devices into OPC UA - compliant measurement data formats, then make this measurement data available to OPC UA clients through the OPC UA server.

Management Console has a command that allows you to export default measurements from compatible devices to the OPC UA server. In addition, Designer and Device Type Editor user interfaces allows you to view and select which OPC UA measurement data you want the OPC UA server to expose to OPC UA clients.

Creating / updating default OPC mapping

Power Monitoring Expert can create the default ION-to-OPC UA data mapping based on the devices contained in the ION_Network database. This default mapping translates the most commonly used ION data to OPC UA data and exports the data to the OPC UA server.

1. Launch Management Console.
2. Select Tools > System > Update OPC Server.

3. Select Yes to create/update the OPC server.

   A summary of the configuration details is displayed.

4. Select OK.

NOTE: If you add a new device to the ION_Network database at a later date, you must repeat the above procedure to map the new source device’s data to the OPC UA server.
