Shared variables supported for OPC UA?

[cekberg]

Hi, 

Does anyone know if using shared variables in LabVIEW are supported for OPC UA?

Or should we use the OPC UA API?

Labview 2013 is used with DSC module, connected to a Kepware OPC UA server (located on the same PC).

Thanks in advance!

If you're talking about OPC I/O servers then those are DA only so you will either have to use the API or have a DA server connect as a UA client to act as a repeater.

We created an opc client to which we added variables (browsing the opc ua server). In the VI we are reading and writing data by using shared variables.
Reading variables seems to work, but when writing the connection crashes. Maybe this way to handle the opc ua communication is not supported?
