    Configuring OPC UA Server writes in Plant SCADA 2023

    PROBLEM

    I have configured the OPC UA Server, and I can read tags from an external UA Client, but I cannot write. How can I configure Plant SCADA to get
    tag values written by an external OPC UA client?

    SITUATION

    Applies to:

    Plant SCADA 2023 (v8.40) Onwards

    SOLUTION

    Plant SCADA OPC UA Server since version 2023 allows writing to variable tags. To restrict access to this functionality, it is not enabled by default.
    To enable OPC UA Server writing, you need to follow these steps:

    1. Create a Windows Group and add to it the users that you plan to have write privileges from OPCUA client connections over the Plant SCADA
    Tags

    Figure 1: Windows Group where you will add the users for OPCUA writes

    2. On your Plant SCADA project, create a Security Role associated to the Windows group created in previous step. You will assign the users with
    OPCUA write privileges to this role.

    3. Set the Write Roles property for each variable tag that needs to have OPC UA writes enabled. The Property Grid allows you to select one of the
    roles configured in your Plant SCADA project, or you can manually enter a comma-separated list to include multiple roles.

    Figure 3: Assign Write Roles to Tag Variables.

    4. When connecting from an external OPC UA Client, authenticate yourself with a user member of the Windows group that you have linked to the
    Plant SCADA Role.
