Hello, excuse my English

I have a Siemens PLC configured as an OPC server configured as “No security – NONE”.

When I try to connect to the Prosys OPC Client application by entering the URL of the PLC address to connect, the FAILED status appears, but I can enter and navigate through the different PLC data blocks, however, by dragging a variable into the “value” column is empty. Before it did not happen to me, since when entering the url, “Running” always appeared. I have another PLC with the same model and version and it is configured the same and I have no problems.

In this PLC that I comment, if I try to connect the UAExpert application I have no problem and I can see the values ​​perfectly.

I am running it locally. I have ping. Everything is perfect.

When I run the application made in Java, I do not receive any error, I get the message “SERVER CONNECTED”, I visualize all the variables that are available in the block, but the value is always 0. It does not read them.

I’m desperate since I can’t find any solution about it. Why does UAExpert allow me to connect and view data and Prosys OPC UA Client does not?

Does the Prosys OPC UA application have a log to be able to visualize what is happening when the “FAILED” connection results?

Thank you.

I have taken the SampleConsoleClient to see the log and I get the following message:

This is most likely the same as: https://forum.prosysopc.com/forum/opc-ua-java-sdk/java-nio-bufferunderflowexception-when-connecting-to-a-opc-ua-server/. We are aware of the problem (while I would like to argue it is not our problem, we still need to implement a workaround).

If needed, you might need to downgrade to 4.1.4 before we make the next release with some kind of a fix.

I have already tried with the SDK version 4.2.0, 4.1.2, and 4.1.4 and continue with the same problem …

Hmm, sorry, should have read better, the problem is visible in your log. The ServerState is Failed, i.e.meaning the actual server-side node Root/Objects/Server/ServerStatus/State value is “1 (Failed)” (it is an Enumeration with value 1). If UaExpert somehow works, you should be able to confirm this with it.

The OPC UA Specification 1.04 Part 5 section 12.6 ServerState Table 136 lists the “Failed” as follows:
“
FAILED_1 A vendor-specific fatal error has occurred within the Server. The Server is no longer
functioning. The recovery procedure from this situation is vendor -specific. Most Service
requests should be expected to fail.
“

I do not think I have seen that one used by any servers. However if it is anything other than “0 (Running)” it means the server is not in operable state (by the specification) and thus we wont e.g. send PublishResponses, thus if you make Subscriptions you wont get any data to them (assuming you could make them even in the first place). Therefore you will need to somehow fix the server so that it is in proper “Running” state.
