To establish a connection to the OPC server, you can use an OPC client of your choice that complies to the OPC standard.
Adapt these general steps to the OPC client you are using to establish a connection to the OPC server:

Use the browse function specific to your OPC client to find the OPC server. |

Select the CoDeSys.OPC.DA entry. NOTE: If the OPC server is not in the list, it has not been installed correctly or a filter is applied in the client. |

The OPC server is started automatically by the operating system as soon as a client establishes a connection. The OPC server terminates automatically as soon as the clients have closed their connections to the server.
