EAE OPC UA Communication with M580 dPAC and Aveva InTouch 2023 R2 SP1

[Eyanto]

Hi everybody. 

Need some guidances on setting up EAE OPC UA communication with M580 dPAC and Aveva InTouch 2023 R2 SP1. Below the simplified architecture of our system.

IP Address Settings: -

1. OPC Server - M580 dPAC : 192.168.1.1
2. OPC Client - HMI Aveva InTouch : 192.168.1.150

We have configured I/O variables to support OPC UA communication, below is the snapshot of the exposed list.

Besides that, in the Properties pad of M580 dPAC we have done the followings: -

• Runtime Configuration > Communication > OPCUA Server > Enable server > True 
• OPCUA Stack Configuration > Server configuration > Security > Secured

Kindly refer to attached pictures for more details.

We have deployed the configuration on M580 dPAC. Unfortunately, the OPC Client (HMI Aveva InTouch) still unable to connect to OPC UA Server. Kindly refer to Aveva OCMC OPCUA Setting picture attached for more details.

Appreciate for some guidances in solving this issue. Thank you so much.

Hi Eyanto,

Did you deployed the Device configuration in EAE? Also can you verify using UA Expert the data's are exposed?

Assalamualaikum @mohamedriswan,

Thank you for your reply. Under Deploy and Diagnostic tab, executed Device configuration > Deply Device Configuration. Now we got all exposed tagnames at Aveva OCMC OPCUA. Thanks again for the support.
