OPC server hanging after client disconnect

Hi,

We are running Citect 2018 and have a Citect OPC server (headless mode) and an OPC client.  Both work fine until the client intentionally disconnects for maintenance, changes, etc.  When the OPC client attempts to reconnect, the OpcDaServer process hangs and shows "Not Responding" in the Runtime Manager.  Data to the OPC client becomes stale.

The only fix seems to be a restart of the OPC Server machine.  

Has anyone had these issues before?  This is our first time at using Citect OPC.  In the past we used Matrikon OPC with no issues.

  • After quick googling i found that citect opc is a opc ua server. It have to work in any conditions. Strange. But in general you must setting up opc server as service and deploy it on some machine in your system. And at least one item or something must reach data from sensors or whatever it is in your line. Something in your system must polling sensors through the opc server. so it wount shut down
