Hello, I have a problem connecting matlab with Codesys OPC UA server. I am running codesys opc ua server to a Beaglebon platfrom , and I have connected with my modem via ethernet. The server is running ok because i can connect to it with other OPC UA clients , but when it comes to matlab i am seeing the following error:
ua=opcua('192.168.1.6',51210);
connect(ua);
Error using opc.ua.Client/fetchEndpoints (line 625)
A low level communication error occurred.
Error in opc.ua.Client/connect (line 409)
errorCode = clnt.fetchEndpoints;
Also when i' m gonna request server info with h=opcuaserverinfo('192.168.1.6') , i am getting the error:
Error using opcuadiscoverymex
Requested 1x18446744073709551615 (17179869184.0GB) array exceeds maximum array size preference. Creation of arrays greater
than this limit may take a long time and cause MATLAB to become unresponsive. See array size limit or preference panel for
more information.
Error in opc.ua.getServerInfo (line 49)
[serverEndpoints, errorCode] = opc.internal.opcuadiscoverymex('getEndpointConfig', listOfServers(k).DiscoveryUrl);
Error in opcuaserverinfo (line 29)
s = opc.ua.getServerInfo(hostName);
Please help me, any ideas?

Hello together,
I had a similar problem. It seems that maybe at the moment Matlab is only able to connect to OPC servers running on the same system. This means 'localhost' is running but an OPC server from another machine is not able to be contacted. The problem is maybe not only Matlab solitary but also some security settings.
I have tried to start Matlab under Admin user which helped in my case when using a connection to a database.
Best regards,
Thomas
