Several tags are missing when Tag Generation import

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue when browsing/importing OPC UA server tags into Kepware. Several tags that are present on the OPC UA server do not appear in Kepware after the browse/import process.

Details:

  • The missing tags are not visible in the Kepware browse tree, so I cannot import/add them to my datalogger.

  • I have verified the tags exist and are accessible from the OPC UA server side.

  • I also confirmed using UAExpert that the missing tags are readable, and their data type is Float (so they do not appear to be unsupported types).

Could you please advise what could cause Kepware to omit certain OPC UA nodes during browsing/import, and which Kepware settings or troubleshooting steps I should review to ensure all tags are discovered and available for import?

Thank you.

Hello,

I have an update based on additional testing.

I am able to see the previously missing tags in OPC Quick Client within Kepware, which suggests the OPC UA connection and browsing are working and the server is exposing the tags correctly. However, when I try to add/select these same tags for the Datalogger, they still do not appear (or cannot be selected), so I am unable to include them in logging.

Could you please advise:

Why a tag would be visible in OPC Quick Client but not available/visible for selection in the Datalogger? Whether there are any Datalogger limitations or filters (e.g., data type support, quality requirements, access rights, tag naming/length, browse settings, channel/device configuration) that could prevent certain OPC UA items from being added for logging? Any recommended troubleshooting steps to identify what is blocking these specific tags from being added?

Thank you.
