Usage
This activity is used to open a preconfigured OPC Connection. It is a nestable activity, which means it can host any amount of sub-activities that will be processed sequentially. The hosted activities are typically AccessOPCUAVariable activities, either as direct children but also wrapped within looping activities like ForEach or While.
