Opc Ua Server Point Manager

This manager is the default view for the OpcUaServerPointDeviceExt (Points container) under an OPC UA namespace. This is also the default view for any OpcUaServerPointFolder under the Points container of an OPC UA namespace.

Use this view to discover server points that exist in the station, which can be mapped to the OpcUaServerPointFolder. Such server points are visible to a connected OPC UA client. Also, server points provide live and historical data as well as alarm events.
