Hi everyone,
I’m trying to connect Factory IO to Ignition using the OPC UA protocol. Ignition works perfectly when connecting to other software like UA Expert, but I can’t get it to work with Factory IO.
I’m running everything on the same machine and within the same instance. The problem seems to be with the hostname. In Ignition, the endpoint is opc.tcp://localhost:62541/discovery, but Factory IO only allows a maximum of 20 characters for the endpoint, meaning I can only enter opc.tcp://localhost:62541.
Replacing the hostname in Ignition doesn’t solve the issue. I also tried using a solution I found here, where the hostname is replaced with opc.tcp://localhost:4840. However, I couldn’t find any service running named OPC UA Local Discovery Server.
Does anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue?
Thanks in advance!
