Configuring an OPCUA Data Collector for Automatic Startup

About this task

Historian does not configure OPCUA Collectors to start automatically as a service since some OPCUA servers do not support this feature.

The OPCUA Collector will start successfully only when the OPCUA Server it is trying to connect to is available and is running. If the OPCUA Server is not running on the OPCUA Collector, then you will not be able to start on startup.

Procedure

On the Start menu, click Run.
Type services.msc and click OK.
The Services dialog box opens.
Select the OPCUA Historian Data Collector.
Click the Startup button.
The Startup dialog box appears.
Select Automatic from the Startup Type field.
This configures the collector for automatic startup.
Click OK.
