The CreateOPCUAScope opens a previously configured [[CreateOPCUAConnection (Activity)|OPC Connection]], processes variable requests and closes the connection when finished.

==Arguments==

{| class="wikitable sortable" | width = "50%"
|-
! Argument!! Type !! Direction !! Purpose
|- align="left"
| Connection|| OPCUAServerConnection|| In || A valid connection object as produced by a predecessing [[CreateOPCUAConnection (Activity)|OPC Connection]]
|- align="left"
| Result|| Boolean|| Out || True if successful, false if failed
|}

==Usage==
This activity is used to open a preconfigured [[CreateOPCUAConnection (Activity)|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 (Activity)|AccessOPCUAVariable]] activities, either as direct children but also wrapped within looping activities like ForEach or While. When all child activities are processed the OPC connection will be closed again.

==Example==
The CreateOPCUAScope activity, as used in the larger example "Read value from OPC variable":
