    , select an OPC UA client.
  3. In
    Properties

    Add
    next to
    Runtime configurations
    .
    RuntimeConfiguration
    #
    appears under
    Runtime configurations
    .
  4. Set the
    RuntimeConfiguration
    #
    properties:
    • Local destination node
      . Design node where the node of interest and all its children are imported.
    • Remote source node
      . Path of the node of interest in the server information model starting, expressed as the sequence of
      BrowseName
      separated by
      /
      . Selects all child nodes of the indicated node. You do not need to indicate the server root node.
    • Content synchronization mode
      :
      • No synchronization
        . Disable the import of nodes and variable values.
      • Import only
        . Import the nodes of interest but do not retain the node structure or the values of synchronized variables.
      • Import and synchronize values
        . Import the nodes of interest and keeps the variable values synchronized.
      • Full synchronization
        . Import the nodes of interest and keep their structure and the values of the variable synchronized.
    • Include remote source node
      :
      • False
        . Imports child nodes only.
      • True
        . Imports both the node indicated in the remote source node and the child nodes.
    • Enable event synchronization
      . In the OPC UA client node indicated in
      Local Destination Node
      , shows the events generated by the server node indicated in Remote Source Node.
    • Event type
      . Event type of interest among those generated by the server node indicated in Remote Source Node and shown in the OPC UA client node indicated in
      Local Destination Node
      .
      TIP: Select
      Add Dynamic Link
      and inside
      Types
      EventTypes
