getting started

UP Project

  • Add ServiceUiConfig at config object (optionally: already set by project wizard).

  • Set AsVersion since OpcUa template is version dependent (optionally: already set by project wizard).

Backend

  • Create new folder to generate service UI backend and define it as target folder with UPbuild_ServiceUiBackend build  (optionally: already set by project wizard).

  • Force generate Service Ui Backend folder
  • Start backend:
  • Windows: run UPconnect.exe
  • Unix: run run_unix.sh script
    (Consider that script must have execute permissions: sudo chmod +x run_unix.sh)
  • Use password and username from Password Safe to login with service user (Service UI User) (Read / Write) or guest user (Service UI Guest) (read only)
  • Open browser and call http://localhost:8080
  • Consider that localhost is always the host from running UPconnect backend application. In case of connecting to a hardware PLC too.
  • Change PLC host name, IP address and plc type at configuration tab
    Consider: using 127.0.01 instead of localhost can speed up OPC-UA connection time under some circumstances with Windows VM's and it's DNS resolution. But this workaround is not always successful. See FAQ for more informations.
