Process flow variables with OPC UA

I'm currently in a project that requires an advanced usage of variables imported from a PLC via OPC UA. What's the best way of working on this project via process flow? I would really appreciate suggestions of tutorials and videos that could enlighten me.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Breno Bogéa,


There are many possibilities for working with OPC UA in the Process Flow. One possibility is using "Variables". With them, you can change or/and read OPC UA signals. Below is an example of configuration:

In addition, it follows a link to understand best of the "Variables":

I hope I have helped.
