Figure 9-25 Diagnostic settings of OPC UA server

Default setting

The default setting is a diagnostics behavior that supports the most important diagnostics

without appreciably increasing the communication load.

You enable diagnostics for subscriptions when the OPC UA server also uses subscriptions,

i.e. if necessary during the commissioning phase only.

Reason: A large volume of diagnostic activity generates a high communication load in the

CPU and may suppress other important messages. Or, the high volume of diagnostics may

result in important messages disappearing in the mass of messages and being ignored.

Additional information

You will find additional information on the meaning and effect of the settings shown above

here (Page 233).
