Overview
Standards and external tool items in the current console are split across two locations.
In the left menu of the console, only two items from the Standard group open in new windows as external tools.
| Left menu | Item | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | OPC-UA, AAS V3 | External standard UI (new window) |
Namespace and Catalog in the same Standard group are internal console screens.
The independent Tools group from earlier documentation and 시계열 엔진(:7800), SQL(:4000) items are no longer in the menu. For time series queries, use the trend, snapshot, and data export screens in Data Point; for system status, use System > Monitoring.
Standard group
| Menu | Internal URL / External URL | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Namespace | /uns/tree | Internal console screen |
| Catalog | /catalog/index | Internal console screen |
| OPC-UA | http://[현재호스트]:12780 | External new window |
| AAS V3 | http://[현재호스트]:8091/ui/ | External new window |
UNS
UNS, shown as Namespace in the menu, is the Unified Namespace hierarchy and DDS topic routing preview screen. For detailed usage instructions, see UNS.
| Area | Display |
|---|---|
| Namespace tree | Site / Area / Line / Equipment / Tag hierarchy |
| Topic preview | Kafka, MQTT, SparkplugB topic paths for the selected node |
| Topic settings | Read-only DDS topic template based on mq.properties |
| AI Topic description | When enabled: routing explanation, missing settings, rationale, and next inspection items |
OPC-UA
The OPC-UA menu opens the 12780 port of the server host on which the current console is running in a new window.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Menu location | Standard > OPC-UA |
| URL format | http://[현재호스트]:12780 |
| Purpose | Access OPC-UA standard tool or gateway UI |
| Authentication | Follow the external tool's own authentication |
If connection fails, ask your system administrator to verify whether the service on that port is running and whether the firewall permits it.
AAS V3
The AAS V3 menu opens the 8091 port and /ui/ path of the server host on which the current console is running in a new window.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Menu location | Standard > AAS V3 |
| URL format | http://[현재호스트]:8091/ui/ |
| Purpose | Access Asset Administration Shell V3 UI |
| Authentication | Follow the external tool's own authentication |
Grafana dashboard is not in the menu
Grafana dashboard is installed with the platform and runs on port 3000. However, this item is not in the console's left menu — you must enter the address directly.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Address | http://[플랫폼 호스트]:3000 |
| Provided module | plantpulse-timeseries (starts with the time series engine) |
| Purpose | Detailed dashboard for viewing long-term trends of server, infrastructure, and messaging |
| Authentication | Grafana native account (separate from console account) |
Metrics that operators normally view are in the console's System > Monitoring. Use Grafana only when you need longer-term trends or custom panels.
For installation, startup status, and access information, see the admin guide Time Series Module.
Opening external windows
OPC-UA and AAS V3 open external ports in new windows based on the host currently running the console.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Host | The current location.hostname from the browser |
| Port | OPC-UA 12780, AAS V3 8091 (/ui/ path) |
| Window | New window or new tab |
| Authentication | Each external tool's own authentication |
Because the host is fetched from the console, if you accessed the console by domain, the external tools will also open at the same domain's respective ports. If that port is blocked by the firewall, the console will work fine but this menu will show a connection refusal.
If your browser blocks popups, click the popup-blocking icon in the address bar and allow popups for the current site.

Frequently asked questions
Q. I cannot find SQL and time series engine from the old Tools menu.
A. These items are not in the current unified sidebar. Use the console's Data group screens for operational queries; for direct queries or external database access, follow your system administrator's procedures.
Q. I clicked OPC-UA or AAS V3 but got a connection refused error.
A. Verify that the external port service is running and that the firewall permits that port.
Q. I cannot find Grafana in the menu.
A. It is not in the console menu. Enter http://[플랫폼 호스트]:3000 directly in the address bar. The account is separate from the console, so check with your system administrator.
Q. What is the difference between namespace and asset tree?
A. The asset tree is a screen for managing equipment and tag models; the namespace is a preview screen showing how that model routes as messaging topics.
