I have project in which I have application written in C# (simulation of a production line) and PLC program that recieves boolean values from that application and counts energy.
My problem is that I need to connect both programs with OPC server to transfer data. Can someone please explain me how to do it step by step because what I've done is I downloaded UaExpert, made a new server by writing my Raspberry's IP (opc.tcp://192.168.0.80:4840) connected and added variables from GVL. When I force the values in Codesys it appears to be changing in UaExpert but when I run my C# application and type in server name (OPCUAServer@raspberrypi) the values does not change.
My question is do I need to instal something on my raspberry pi for it to work? Or just creating server in UaExpert is enough. I'm pretty sure that C# application is working fine so it's something about OPC configuration.
please forgive me if I'm asking about silly things but I'm a newb and I haven't seen any information solving my problem. If you can please explain me how it is done or provide some links, thank you in advance.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
