Information on the server interface
The "OPC UA Server Interface" dialog is structured as a table and provides the following
information:
Note that not all columns are displayed initially. You determine what is displayed by right-
clicking on the header line of the table.
When a row is selected, you can display the OPC UA attributes of the node in the Inspector
window ("OPC UA attributes" area), such as node ID, node class, node type, and
description.
● BrowseName
The language neutral name of the user-defined server interface is at the top
(BrowseName). This name can be freely selected.
The names (BrowseNames) of the individual OPC UA nodes that have been added to the
server interface are under the name of the interface.
You cannot change the name of an OPC UA node in this dialog. The names come from
the STEP 7 project.
You can delete an OPC UA node from the table. This means that it no longer belongs to
the server interface and is no longer visible to OPC UA clients.
● DisplayName
Similar to BrowseName. However, the name can be translated and is displayed, if
available, in the corresponding language.
● Node ID
NodeId of the OPC UA node, e.g. http://Server-Node_1; i=1
