OPC UA Driver Timestamp

OPC UA Driver Timestamp

Hi,

Is it possible to configure the OPC UA driver so that it ignores the timestamps provided by the OPC UA server variables and instead uses Zenon’s internal timestamp?

Currently, for OnChange archives, the timestamp is taken directly from the OPC UA server, while for Cyclic archives, Zenon uses its internal timestamp. This creates inconsistencies when comparing data.

The issue becomes critical if the OPC UA server is not synchronized with the correct system clock. For example, in our case we have a permanent VPN connection to a remote site in another country with a different timezone. We want to collect a few variables from the OPC UA server, where some are archived OnChange and others Cyclically, but the timestamp discrepancy makes comparison unreliable.


Regards,
Martin
