Using OPC UA variables

Good morning FlexSim community.

I'm using FlexSim as an emulator via OPC UA. I would like to know if there is a way to use OPC UA Controls variables in a trigger code of some Objects in my model?

(for example: if(OPC UA variable1 == 1) {//do the rest} )

I would like also to reset OPC UA Sensors variables to 0 each time I reset the model.

(In OnReset: OPC UA variable2=0)

Thanks in advance.

You can get the value using the Emulation.Variable's value property.

Also, in process flow, you can use a Variable shared asset, along with the Get Variable and Set Variable activities, to get and set the variables.
