Configuring the OPC UA Application Overview

This section describes the OPC UA application configuration file based on the OPC Foundation Software Development Kit (SDK) Configuration Schema. This configuration format is used by both client and server applications in the OPC UA .NET Standard stack.

To learn more, use the following references.

The OPC UA application configuration file in GENESIS, FwxServer.OpcUa.config, configures both OPC UA server and client settings for FrameWorX Server. The root element is ApplicationConfiguration and contains the following .xml sections.

Section	Description	Required
ApplicationName	Human-readable name of the application	Yes
ApplicationUri	Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that is unique for the application	Yes
ProductUri	Product family identifier	Yes
ApplicationType	Type of OPC UA application	Yes
SecurityConfiguration	Security and certificate settings	Yes
TransportQuotas	Transport layer limits and timeouts	Yes
ClientConfiguration	Client-specific settings	Client only
ServerConfiguration	Server-specific settings	Server only
TraceConfiguration	Logging and diagnostics settings	Optional

To configure each section of the OPC UA application configuration file for GENESIS, refer to the following topics.

Some settings listed in these topics are missing in the configuration file. In that case, the default SDK values are used for these settings. If you need to edit the value, enter the setting to the appropriate section of the FwxServer.OpcUa.config file.
