Troubleshooting

Behavior

Description

The configuration cannot be exported to the TwinCAT OPC UA Server. The log shows an error “Export failed. Reason: ...".

  • Please make sure that you have write access to the TwinCAT OPC UA Server installation directory. If the TwinCAT OPC UA Server has been installed to the %ProgramFiles% directory, please make sure to start the TwinCAT OPC UA Nodeset Editor as Administrator using the “Run As Administrator” option.

I have exported my configuration to the TwinCAT OPC UA Server, but my nodes are not visible in the server address space.

  • Please make sure that you have restarted the server after the export. This is the only way for the server to process the new configuration.
  • If the behavior persists, please make sure that you have configured the correct installation path for the TwinCAT OPC UA Server in the Application settings. On a 32 bit system, the Win32 installation directory is used, while on a 64 bit system, the Win64 directory is used to run the TcOpcUaServer.exe file. You can also double-check which directory used via the Windows Task Manager by navigating to the TcOpcUaServer process and selecting Open file location from the context menu.
