    • OPC Foundation OPC UA Server/Client
      - OPC UA client functionality is now supported.
      - For secure communication, the server certificate must be registered.
      Register the server certificate in OPC UA Server under [Security
      Configuration] → [Certificate Configuration].
      - For secure communication, the certificate generated in the HMI must be
      extracted using a tool and registered in the OPC UA Server (OPC UA client certificate).
      One way to do this is to enable the OPC UA Server function on the HMI, start the HMI, and then connect using Unified Automation’s UaExpert.
      After connection, the certificate is created in the following folder: C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\unifiedautomation\uaexpert\PKI\ trusted\certs
