Demonstrate to connect to a OPC-UA sample server

1. Download and install OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02: OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02.msi are available at local server, please paste file's url in File Explorer to copy file.

2. After OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02.msi  is installed, launch DataAccess Server.

EdgeSense OPC-UA client can manage multi OPC-UA setting and multi NodeID . 

4. Edit opcua-client.json to set up client configuration, for example:

{
    "OPCUA_Server":[
        {
            "Name": "OPCUA-SERVER-1",
            "endpointUrl":"opc.tcp://desktop-2lhi6fa:62547",
            "userIdentity": {
                "userName": "admin",
                "password": ""
            },            
            "NodeIDList":[{"NodeId":"ns=2;s=1:CC2001?Input2","Name":"CC2001-Input2", "Type":"v", "Interval":2},
                          {"NodeId":"ns=2;s=1:CC2001?Output","Name":"CC2001-Output", "Type":"v", "Interval":2},
                          {"NodeId":"ns=2;s=1:CC1001?Output","Name":"CC1001-Output", "Type":"v", "Interval":2}
                        ]
