With the OPC UA Connection, you can connect HELIO to PLCs that comply with the established OPC UA standard.
Choose a Name. This will be used by HELO internally to differentiate between multiple connections.
Specify the URL of your OPC UA endpoint. A valid URL should contain the protocol, hostname, as well as the port.

If your test was successful, click the "Create Connection" button.
Auto-Connect
Once a connection is established, HELIO will add it permanently to the HELIO runtime. The runtime will automatically attempt to connect to this connection during startup, and will try to reconnect it if the connection is lost.
