Hey Moharam,

what would you like to have on the APC910, an OPC UA client or server?

The server is quite easy: you just activate the server in the CPU configuration and enable all variables you want to publish via the server in the .uad config file (Configuration View → Connectivity → OPC UA). There you can also configure limits, engineering units, permissions, etc…

The permissions are depending on the roles and users you can configure in Automation Studio.

That’s pretty much it, you can test the server using any other client e.g. like UA Expert.

For the client you have two options:

  1. Using a library: For the OPC UA client you can use the AsOpcUac library. You can find samples in the help aswell as in the Automation Studio library samples. You also can check out some wrapper libs like e.g. here.

  2. using the OpcUa_any client: You can drag & drop it from the toolbox into your hardware and configure all channels in the “module” configuration. Then you can just use the IO mapping.

I’m currently not aware of any videos, but feel free to checkout the B&R homepage and the YouTube channel…

Best regards!
