Configuring an OPC UA Group Object

To add a group object to your OPC UA data source hierarchy

1. Select the new data source object, right-click it, and then click Add OPC UAGroup Object on the shortcut menu.

   A new object is created in the hierarchy tree and is named New_OPCUAGroup_000 by default. Rename it, if desired. You are allowed to add up to 100 new group objects.

   The New_OPCUAGroup_000 Parameters configuration view (right pane) is displayed.

2. Configure the new group object parameters.

   1. Device Group Name: This parameter is configured on the hierarchy tree, and is displayed in a non-editable text box in the parameters configuration pane.

   2. Update Rate: Expressed in milliseconds, this parameter controls the fastest rate at which updates are sent from the Gateway to the client. The default value is 1000 ms. The minimum value is 0 ms. The maximum value is 2147483646 ms. This parameter is hot configurable.

   3. Read Only: When selected, all items connected through the OPC UA group are read only. This parameter is hot configurable.

      

3. (Optional) Configure Device Items. Click the Device Items tab and add item names and references. For more information, see Configuring Device Item Definitions.
