Connecting Python OpenOPC Client from ONE Windows System to OPC DA Server running on another Windows System in an INTRANET|Classic OPC: DA, A&E, HDA, XML-DA, etc.|Forum|OPC Foundation

Hi ,

We have a  OPC DA Server running on one  Windows PC  and OpenOPC Python client running on different Windows PC .

When i am using :

Code 1:

import OpenOPC

opc=OpenOPC.open_client('X.X.X.X')

ser=opc.servers()

print(ser)

I am  getting - errors as below :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\Pyro4\core.py", line 515, in connect_and_handshake

    sock.connect(connect)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

AND  when i am connecting using the code below :

Code 2:

import OpenOPC

pywintypes.datetime = pywintypes.TimeType

opc=OpenOPC.client('X.X.X.X')

ser=opc.servers()

print(ser)

I  am getting errors as :

I am getting error as :

Code 4:

import OpenOPC

opc=OpenOPC.client()
ab=opc.connect('OPCDA Server ' , 'X.X.X.X')
print('Status ',ab)

Remember :
**
OpenOPC client is running on ONE  Windows System in a OT Network

OPC DA server is running on SECOND  Windows in a IT Network

But both Windows systems are connected in same network using a switch.**

**
If anyone of you can assist me on this .**
