Need Further Assistance With "Agent URL"

[ashchav20]

Hello I still need assistance with how to structure the Agent URL, I tried to follow the format that was being shown in the article: How To Build Your First OPC UA Connector but it’s not working. I used my public IP address and 49320 as suggested.

"Agent URL" - Where do I find this information?

Good morning Tulip community, I am working on " How To Build Your First OPC UA Connector" [image] I am having trouble finding the information that I need to fill in “Agent URL” with, more specifically I’m having trouble understanding the instructions with this, can there be a more thorough walk-through given? Thank you.

Thank you

Hey @ashchav20, you’d structure it as opc.tcp://0.0.0.0:49320 where 0.0.0.0 is the IP address and 49320 is the port.

Hope that helps!

Thank you @joshuarichard ! Does Tulip need to be actively running to connect? Or just the PC to the internet? I keep getting a “connection timed out” with it.

hello @ashchav20, Tulip does not need to be running on a Player for the Connection to be created, but the PC does need to be connected to the internet. here’s an example (I do not have a Tulip Player running):

does the error message provide more information in the i icon?? if so, can you provide a screenshot??

@joshuarichard

opc.tcp://0.0.0.0:49320 where 0.0.0.0

Thanks @gio, the computer is connected to the internet and I verified my public IP address.

Hi @ashchav20, you probably need to setup a Port Forwarding rule (either on your router yourself or with help from your IT department) so that your public IP address, 208.87.233.180 will map to the private IP address for your OPC/UA server on port 49320

Thank you @joshuarichard I’ll look into that.
