Verifying OPC UA connection with Data Browser

  1. With Workbench open, find the Data Browser panel and expand My Computer > Data Connectivity > OPC UA > My OPC UA Connection and select the name of the OPC UA server you want to connect to.

    Data Browser

  2. If these items are displayed, then the OPC UA connection is correctly established. You can also check which tags the OPC UA Server has by expanding its child items:

    Data Browser - OPC UA data

A downside to this approach is that you can view the OPC UA tag, but you cannot view the value.
