We left it open while we took lunch and again overnight to see if it was just working hard. There was never a error box, just a stuck screen with the connect to server box grayed out. We then went looking in Events manager and had that app hung message at about the same time we hit connect. I grabbed a screenshot and a copy of the alert and will mail it out to you later today.

It would be better to try and download the same GE IGS product were asking about. I think it does have a 2 hour trial time, if it's limited functionality the KepserverEX product is fully functional and the same general product.

Getting IGS from GE will also require creating an account with GE IP.

Once logged in you can search for IGS in the drivers category or try this link:

I had no problems configuring a GE OPC server/Client to get it's data from the IGS and then connecting the Advanced OPC logger to the GE OPC as a client to get data.

So in my instance it's installed on the same server as the OPC server.  I've installed a prior version of OPC logger (V2.6.6.415)on an auxilary server and had the same issue connecting to the remote server with the OPC logger.

I belive the issue is from DCOM and security changes with Kepware/IGS and the newer OPCUA features.  There is not much I can provide you for screen shots as the OPC Logger just locks up and nolonger responds when I try to connect to a OPC server.

You can download a demo from Kepware and try this in your lab, they are the group behind most OPC software and GE rebrands it as IGS. http://www.kepware.com/

I've always had issues getting configured and setup without crashing or hanging a typical problem in prior versions.

We did have it functioning and once it was setup we hadn't touched it for a few months.

I've recently updated my IGS to 7.56/OPC Logger 2.6.8.1007 and can't connect to the server. Once I connect it locks up and I get a Application Hang Cat# (101) Event ID:1002 in my event Log.

OPC clients can connect to the OPC server just fine.
