Get Started with OPC UA and Operations Hub
This topic guides you on how to configure an OPC UA data source, and build visualization.
Steps
The following sections walk you through:
- Create a data source with OPC UA configuration in Operations Hub.
- Build an asset model for OPC UA data sources in this order:
- Create object types with Proficy iFIX, Proficy CIMPLICITY, and IGS data variables.
- For the object types, create object instances.
- Build an asset hierarchy to specify the hierarchical relationships of assets. Operators navigate through this hierarchy to select the equipment context for a given layout at runtime. Refer to Set Up Runtime Navigation (Classic).
- Use the Trend Widget for OPC UA Data Sources.
- To enable write operations in Proficy CIMPLICITY for Operations Hub, refer to Configure Proficy CIMPLICITY for Writes.
- To enable write operations in Proficy iFIX for Operations Hub, refer to Configure Proficy iFIX for Writes.
