Custom UA Namespace

How do I open Custom UA Namespace?

Use the

Custom Namespace

editor to create tag definitions for the OPC UA interfaces and bind or map them to system data points to provide consistent names for different components or to organize the data to comply with an industry standard, for example, OPC UA Companion Specifications.

If you do not use

Tag Browser

to add or edit a tag in the

Custom Namespace

editor, you must ensure that the tag’s data type is the same as the data source, such as the Logix controller, or OPC UA server connected via the FactoryTalk Linx OPC UA Connector.

If you change a tag’s data type in a controller, you must ensure that the tag’s data type in the

Custom Namespace

editor is the same as that in the controller. Otherwise, an error message "BadTypeMisMatch" appears in the UA clients when a tag is requested, or a FactoryTalk Diagnostic message will be generated listing the type mismatch for a write operation.
