OPC UA server configuration settings/parametersPermalink

There are some parameters to control OPC UA server that can be configured by user. The user can control the minimum update rates and the maximum sessions in parallel via OPC UA communication. The user can better control the performance demands of the OPC UA server to respond to the client requests.

Table 506: OPC UA server parameters

Name

Default

Description

‎Use node name‎

FALSE

Uses device name (customizable in Communication Settings page) instead of type name (e.g. "AC500 PM56xx-2ETH") for identification the PLC from the OPC UA client.

‎Network port‎

4840

Configures the port used by the OPC UA server.

‎Minimum sampling rate‎

min value depending on CPU type

Defines the minimum sampling rate of the monitored variables (in ms).

‎Scheduler resolution‎

1

Configures the resolution of the scheduler of the OPC UA server (in ms).

‎Maximum sessions‎

max value depending on CPU type

Maximum possible number of sessions. A session is an online connection of a client.

‎Maximum subscriptions per session‎

10000

Maximum possible number of subscriptions per session.

‎Maximum timeout of sessions‎

172800

Maximum timeout of sessions. Value in seconds. Default is 2 days (60*60*24*2). If a client sends 0, the timeout will be set to the maximum value.

There are values and default values of the parameters "Minimum sampling rate" and “Maximum sessions" for the different types of PLCs. After configuration of a value outside the limit for the PLC, a configuration error is displayed, and configuration cannot be downloaded.
