What you will verify
This quickstart is the starting point for an OPC UA simulator workflow in SPX. The goal is to start a ready runtime, browse nodes, inspect live values, and confirm that a standard OPC UA client can subscribe to changing data.
Use the full OPC UA Simulator page for the broader capability overview.
Quickstart structure
- Start SPX and open the runtime UI.
- Select an OPC UA-capable simulator instance.
- Verify the endpoint, namespace, and live node values.
- Connect with a standard client such as UAExpert.
- Subscribe to changing values and confirm the runtime behaves as expected.
What this supports
This article supports industrial client, gateway, historian, and middleware testing where teams need a repeatable OPC UA server simulation before physical systems are available.
