When the plugin is installed and licensed, a plugin configuration with default settings is automatically generated. The settings can be viewed and edited by enabling the Config Function, then selecting the plugin in Integration Configurations, within the Configuration Tree. Configuration settings will then be available in the Configuration Panel.

Info

Once you have made changes to the plugin configuration and committed the changes by saving, the plugin will automatically rebuilt itself based on the new configuration.

The setting options are as follows:

...

Plugin Application URI: Application URI reported through the OPC protocol. This should have the same URI as the security certificate.

Certificate Type: Server Certificate Type:

Windows: Default - tries to read the certificate from in Windows Certificate Store. Certificate path must be a valid windows certificate store path e.g. "CurrentUser\My" or "LocalMachine\TrustedPublisher".

Directory: This tries to read the certificate from the file storage.

Certificate Path: Location to store the server certificate. This can be a file location e.g. "C:\OpcCertificate\" if using Directory certificate type or Certificate Store path e.g. "CurrentUser\My"

Certificate Name: Name on the server certificate file. This name is used as both the issuer and the issued to.

Autocreate Auto create Certificate: Defaults to True. This indicates that a server certificate will be generated if the specified one is not available. This is the recommended option. If a custom pregenerated certificate is used, the OPC Server must be configured to match the certified application name and application URI.

(Server URI: Location where the OPC Server is hosted. This should be the actual Canary hosting machine name, localhost or the canary machine IP followed by an unused port and optionally additional path - for example if the same server hosts multiple OPC applications.)

Write node structure to CSV:

Use Anonymous Login:

Carriageways: This section indicates the carriageways that we want to track in the OPC server. When a highway alarm is received, only an alarm matching a configured Carriageway will be processed.

...

Warning

If Certificate Type is "Directory", auto create certificate can only create new certificates if Opc OPC Foundation Redistributable is installed.

If the specified certificate does not exist and new certificate cannot be created (e.g. due to the above or if Auto create Certificate is not selected), the plugin will not be able to start up.
