how can I connect my ctrlX Core to my Siemens S7. In the S7 I release some variables from sensors (OPC UA Server). With them I want to work in the ctrlX. I created a OPC UA client on the ctrlX, but I get no connection to the IP address of the S7. It would be nice if someone can give me a step by step instruction for the connection between both devices. It could be also another third-party device (e.g. Beckhoff).
Now the connection to the S7 works fine. But after a reboot of the core there is no automatic reconnection possible. Are there any settings to change for auto reconnect?
We checked with our R&D and at the moment there is no setting to trigger an auto reconnect to a server. This has to be done "by hand" e.g. with the PLC function blocks or via the Data Layer in the application that uses the client.
I just created a short NodeRED Flow example how a reconnect to an OPC UA Server from the OPC UA Client App can be performed (Flow as .json file attached). Please read the comments in the flow before using.
