Process flow variables with OPC UA

[BPassos01]

[ FlexSim 22.0.16 ]

I'm currently in a project that requires an advanced usage of variables imported from a PLC via OPC UA. What's the best way of working on this project via process flow? I would really appreciate suggestions of tutorials and videos that could enlighten me.

Thanks in advance!
