Connect OPC UA Client to OPC UA Server

13.2
Once the RXi OPC UA server is running, a client can connect to the server and browse the
address space. The RXi OPC UA server uses the OPC UA Binary protocol to communicate
with the client. The OPC UA Binary connection strings take the base form displayed below.
As an example, a connection string for an RXi OPC UA server is constructed. To begin, the
RXi controller TCP/IP address is needed. One method to find this information is to use the
Machine Edition programmer. Open the controller's project and select the project top level in
the Project tab of the Navigator window. From the Inspector window, scroll down to the IP
Address Entry (refer to the screenshot below). From the figure, we can see the current RXi
IP address is 10.10.1.102. For this example, the client's connection string for the RXi is the
following:
GFK-2816F
opc.tcp://10.10.1.102:4840
