Introduction

OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a machine to machine communication protocol for industrial automation developed by the OPC Foundation.

EdgeSense OPC-UA Client

EdgeSense OPC-UA Client aims to collect data from OPC-UA Server and control.

Feature:

• Manage multi OPC-UA server and multi NodeID
• Support anonymous authentication, username/password authentication.
• Currently support up-link OPC-UA data to WISE-PaaS , not support down-link from WISE-PaaS.
• Detailed features, please see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hxUJgHvcPYq8f44gmVVmwUCddHhOPBflSRkSKR0H9Q4/edit?ts=5ca2bfc9#gid=348272669

How to

Software Requirements

• MQTT broker
• Node.js

Installation

Windows: 1.Download OPC-UA Service for Windows from Release Table. 2.Double click to launch the installer to install it to the machine.

Linux: 1.Download OPC-UA Service for Windows from Release Table. 2.Launch the installer to install it to the machine.

Configuration

EdgeSense OPC-UA client can manage multi OPC-UA setting and multi NodeID.

Name

*Assign name for a OPC-UA server.

endpointUrl

*Assign OPC-UA Server Endpoint URL , format is opc:tcp://hostname:Port/  , hostname also can use ip address.

NodeId

*Assign Node ID you'd like to monitor

<br/>

== Demonstrate to connect to a OPC-UA sample server ==

1. Download and install OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02: [file://eossfs/ESS-Release/EdgeSense/Tools/OPCUA/ OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02.msi] are available at local server, please paste file's url in File Explorer to copy file.

2. After OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02.msi  is installed, launch DataAccess Server.

3. Config OPC-UA Client to connect to the sample Server,  Endpoint URLs shown in application.

4. Edit opcua-client.json to set up client configuration, for example:


<pre>{
    "OPCUA_Server":[
        {
            "Name": "OPCUA-SERVER-1",
            "endpointUrl":"opc.tcp://desktop-2lhi6fa:62547",
            "userIdentity": {
                "userName": "admin",
                "password": ""
            },            
            "NodeIDList":[{"NodeId":"ns=2;s=1:CC2001?Input2","Name":"CC2001-Input2", "Type":"v", "Interval":2},
                          {"NodeId":"ns=2;s=1:CC2001?Output","Name":"CC2001-Output", "Type":"v", "Interval":2},
                          {"NodeId":"ns=2;s=1:CC1001?Output","Name":"CC1001-Output", "Type":"v", "Interval":2}
                        ]

        }
    ]
