OPC UA objects and entities selection

Upon successful completion of a discovery, the selection page provides the option to manually select those OPC UA objects and entities that will be replicated in PI AF and Data Archive.

There are two options:

• Marking the discovered OPC UA entities manually

• Specify a selection rule

PI Data Collection Manager implements a logic that allows for building queries graphically. The query building principle is intended to be intuitive. Use Run Selection Query to experiment with applying a simple rule on the discovered results, and then verifying what was selected. Run Selection Query returns only those objects that pass the criteria defined in the rule.

For more information about the data selection, see the Select data section in the PI Connector Administration user guide.
