OPCUA tag search - returned tag format
If you experience issues with full Browse Paths being unable to be resolved by TopView's OPC UA tooling, you have other options to return Node IDs or browse paths combined with Node IDs from TopView's "Add tags"/ tag search dialog.
In TopView 7.2 and later
- Launch the TopView Configurator
- From the left menu, choose Global Options
- Select the OPC tab
- Set the desired option
In TopView 7.1 and earlier
To add this option: in [TopView DataPath]\TopView.ini, add the following anywhere within the "[Configurator]" section:
-
[Configurator]
- ; [...]
- opc_ua_tag_search_return_style=x
where X is one of the following values: 1, 2, or 3.
- tag search returns the browse path (default)
- tag search returns the node ID
- tag search returns both the browse path and the node ID
Default, or no INI entry, will use option (1).
