Establishing a connection to the Web-based Management (WBM):

  • Open a web browser on your computer.
  • In the address field, enter the URL https://<IP-address-of-the-controller>/wbm,
    for example: https://192.168.1.10/wbm.

For further information, see WBM.

  • Open the System Services page (Configuration → System Services) in the WBM. 
  • Activate the OPC UA Client by its checkbox.
  • Click the Apply and reboot button. 

Note: You have to make some settings in the OPC UA Server.

The OPC UA® Client supports the Minimum UA Client Profile. Currently only manual configuration is supported (configuration via PLCnext Engineer is in progress).

  • Open the Identity Store and the Trust Store (Security → Certificate Authentication) to check the OPC UA Client certificates and configure them accordingly.

 

Further information can be found in the OPC UA Client documentation.

Note: Your OPC UA client requires a system use notification that complies with your legal requirements. You can see an example in the User Authentication WBM topic in the main PLCnext Technology ‑ Info Center.
