Description of function
The OPC UA connection wizard function of the OPC UA menu item opens the OPC UA NC Server connection wizard window.
OPC UA menu item (options 56 to 61)
- The assistant features the following steps:
- Export OPC UA NC Server certificates
- Import the certificates of the OPC UA client application
- Assign each of the available OPC UA NC Server software options to an OPC UA client application
- Import user certificates
- Assign user certificates to users
- Configure the firewall
If at least one of the options 56 to 61 is active, then, when booting for the first time, the control creates the server certificate as part of a self-generated certificate chain. The client application or the manufacturer of the application creates the client certificate. The user certificate is linked to the user account. Please contact your IT department.
Note
The OPC UA NC Server connection wizard also helps you create test or sample certificates for users and the OPC UA client application. Do not use the user and client application certificates created at the control for other purposes than development at the programming station.
