Supported Data type in Emulation for OPC UA connection

[ FlexSim 23.0.8 ]

What is the supported Data type in Emulation for OPC UA connection?

In Seimens S7 connection for example, you can select the data type for each variable, but there is no menu for OPC UA.

Hi @Ryosuke S , OPC UA Connector support scalar values + string + byte string:

Boolean, Byte, Char, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Float, Double, String, Byte String.

You don't need to specify the datatype because is read from the UA Server when you browse the tags.

@Luciano Cavallero Thank you! It is nice to know you need not specify!
