Overview
In the current console, items of a standards or external-tool nature are split across two places.
In the console's left menu, only the two items in the Standard group open in a new window.
| Left menu | Item | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | OPC-UA, AAS V3 | External standard UI (new window) |
Namespace and Catalog, which belong to the same Standard group, are internal console screens.
The standalone Tools group and the 시계열 엔진(:7800) and SQL(:4000) items from earlier documentation are no longer in the menu. For time series lookups, use the trend, snapshot, and data output screens under Data Point; for system status, use System > Monitoring.
Standard Group
| Menu | Internal URL / External URL | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| 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 in the menu as Namespace, is the Unified Namespace hierarchy and DDS topic routing preview screen. For detailed usage of the screen, refer to UNS.
| Area | Display |
|---|---|
| Namespace tree | Site / Area / Line / Equipment / Tag hierarchy |
| Topic preview | Kafka, MQTT, and SparkplugB topic paths for the selected node |
| Topic settings | Read-only view of DDS topic templates based on mq.properties |
| AI Topic description | Routing description, missing settings, rationale, and next items to check, when the setting is enabled |
OPC-UA
The OPC-UA menu opens port 12780 on the server host where the console is currently open, in a new window.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Menu location | Standard > OPC-UA |
| URL format | http://[현재호스트]:12780 |
| Purpose | Access to the OPC-UA standard tool or gateway UI |
| Authentication | Follows the external tool's own authentication |
If the connection fails, ask your system administrator to check whether the service on that port is running and whether the firewall allows it.
AAS V3
The AAS V3 menu opens port 8091 and path /ui/ on the server host where the console is currently open, in a new window.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Menu location | Standard > AAS V3 |
| URL format | http://[현재호스트]:8091/ui/ |
| Purpose | Access to the Asset Administration Shell V3 UI |
| Authentication | Follows the external tool's own authentication |
PlantPulse Dashboard Is Not in the Menu
PlantPulse Dashboard is installed together with the Platform and runs on port 3000. However, this item does not appear in the console's left menu — you must enter the address directly.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Address | http://[플랫폼 호스트]:3000 |
| Providing module | plantpulse-timeseries (starts together with the time series engine) |
| Purpose | Detailed dashboards for long-term trends in servers, infrastructure, and messaging |
| Authentication | PlantPulse Dashboard's own account (separate from the console account) |
The metrics operators normally view are available in the console under System > Monitoring. Use PlantPulse Dashboard only when you need longer-range trends or custom panels.
For installation, startup status, and access information, see the administrator document Time Series Module.
How External Windows Open
When you click the OPC-UA or AAS V3 menu, the external port is opened based on the host from which the console is currently being served.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Host | The browser's current location.hostname |
| Port | OPC-UA 12780, AAS V3 8091 (path /ui/) |
| Window | New window or new tab |
| Authentication | Each external tool's own authentication |
Since the host is taken from the console, if you accessed the console by domain name, the external tools open on the same domain at the corresponding port. If that port is blocked by the firewall, the console works normally but only these menus return a connection refused error.
If your browser blocks pop-ups, allow pop-ups for the current site from the pop-up blocker icon at the right of the address bar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I can't see SQL or the time series engine that used to be in the Tools menu.
A. Those items are not in the current unified sidebar. Use the console's Data group screens for operational lookups, and follow your system administrator's procedures for direct queries or external DB access.
Q. I clicked OPC-UA or AAS V3 and got a connection refused error.
A. Check whether the external port service is running and whether that port is open in the firewall.
Q. I can't find PlantPulse Dashboard 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 account, so check with your system administrator.
Q. What is the difference between the namespace and the asset tree?
A. The asset tree is the screen for managing the equipment and tag model, while the namespace is the screen for previewing how that model is routed to messaging topics.
