hello all,

I have a challenge at hand. To implement the Rubber and Plastic OPC UA Information model into a codesys project, upload this codesys project to Exor Panel, using this panel, display the variables to the Umati Dashboard (developed by VDMA for their cleints as a showcase platform).

the problem has been broken down into 4 steps:
1. implementing the model in codesys
2. Implementing the server in Exor Panel
3. connecting the panel to Umati
4. Testing

I’m stuck at Step 1.

approach being followed: download codessys SP18.2, download opc ua repository (standard XML file which is provided by OPC UA for Rubber and plastic machines), implement the information model, connect the required variables. upload the symbol file and step 1 is done.

available resources: At the moment I am using Codesys V3.5 SP18.2 and Jmobile 4.5.

The problem I am facing: I am unable to add OPC UA to communication manager. I already have a sample .xml file from VDMA which I want to use as an Information Model which I have downloaded in Tools -> OPC UA Information Model Repository but for some reason I am unable to add opc ua to communications manager.

this is how it looks like. Do you have any idea where the Problem could be? How would you implement the Information Model in this case?
