Hello,

The global variable name in OPCUA is currently “AsGlobalPV.”  
I would like to replace “AsGlobalPV” with a specific name.  
What would be the best way to do this?

Thank you!

Hi, if I’m not mistaken, `AsGlobalPV` is a namespace where nodes of global variables are present, and you cannot change it.
