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, below settings are default after OPC-UA client installation.

{
    "OPCUA_Server":[
        {
            "Name": "OPCUA-SERVER-1",
            "endpointUrl":"opc.tcp://opcuaserver1:62547",
            "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}
                        ]

        },
        {
            "Name": "OPCUA-SERVER-2",
            "endpointUrl":"opc.tcp://opcuaserver2:62547",
            "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}
                        ]

        }
    ]
}

Name

• Assign name for OPC-UA server.

endpointUrl

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

userIdentity

• Assign username and password for OPC-UA server security check.

NodeIDList

• Assign node ID you'd like to monitor
• Assign node Name you'd like to show for the node
• Assign node Type: "v" is Number, "bv" is Boolean, "sv" is String

Demonstrate to connect a OPC-UA sample server

1. Download and install OPC UA Sample Applications 1.02: 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:

{
    "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}
                        ]

        }
    ]
}
