Hi,

to read the Client SystemInfo, you have to configure a suitable variable structure on PLC side, make it accessible via OPC UA and bind it in mappView, an example can be found here.

Setting the unit can be done by a system action, additionally please see here for an overview of all Client actions available.

Best regards!

You could also look at mvHighLight task mvClient and the gSystemInfo.binding file.
