A Node-RED nodes to communicate or serve via OPC UA.
based on node-opcua
Run command on Node-RED installation directory.
npm install node-red-contrib-opcua
or run command for global installation.
npm install -g node-red-contrib-opcua
Use OpcUa-Item to define variables. Use OpcUa-Client to read / write / subscribe / browse OPC UA server.
See some flows under Examples. Updated server sub-flow example OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json look commands: addFolder, AddVariable, setFolder.
Here you got some ready to use examples. You can use the Import in Node-RED in the right upper corner menu.
Examples are available for Schneider IGSS and Prosys Simulation Server as Node-RED flow. Search for OPC UA on: http://flows.nodered.org/
Property | Function/Value | Notes |
---|---|---|
payload | set interval for subscription or monitorItem | |
interval | Subscription interval | |
queueSize | Subscription queue size | |
deadbandType | "a" abs. or "p" percent | Action monitor |
deadbandValue | integer for deadband | Action monitor |
topic | NodeId and DataType in format ns=3;s=Counter;datatype=Int32 | |
action | subscribe | nodeId / variable |
unsubscribe | nodeId / variable | |
deletesubscription | subscription | |
browse | nodeId / folder | |
info | nodeId | |
read | nodeId | |
write | nodeId & value | |
monitor | deadbandtype abs/pro | |
events | nodeId | |
readmultiple | [nodeId + datatype] | |
writemultiple | [nodeId + datatype + value] |
readmultiple to readmultiple items writemultiple to write multiple items clearitems to empty multiple items (readmultiple / writemultiple)
NOTE: With datatype=xxxArray msg.payload.range = "2:4" can used as indexRange to read/write partial array
Property | Function/Value | Notes |
---|---|---|
payload | dataValue.value.value | |
statusCode | OPC UA StatusCode | |
sourceTimestamp | Source timestamp | |
serverTimestamp | Server´s timestamp |
Release history (only couple of older releases):
v0.2.113
Enhancement: server commands: registerNamespace and getNamespaceIndex, user can addVariables with registered namespaces like ns=5.
Enhancement: msg.topic = readmultiple AND msg.payload = ALL then msg.payload = values
v0.2.112
Added DateTime to server.
v0.2.111
Fixed DateTime conversion (write).
v0.2.110
Added 2D and 3D array support. Examples:
ns=1;s=Float2D;datatype=FloatArray[5,5]
ns=1;s=Float3D;datatype=FloatArray[5,5,5]
NOTE: Write range uses msg.range
New feature msg.payload.range can be used to read part of Array
New feature msg.range can be used to write part of Array
Updated example OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json
v0.2.109
Added array range examples (examples/OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json).
Send only if payload contains something.
Added msg.payload.range usage
New feature msg.payload.range can be used to read/write part of Array
Fix: FQDN -> hostname in makeAplicationUri
EventId and statustext as clear string
EventId as hex string
v0.2.108 and older
Fixed support for server Array variables
Browse will create topic and datatype thus output can be connected. Next node can progress output msg.
Refactored browse action fast and simple
Merged event payload fix. Merge pull request #265 from list3f/master
Put OPC UA event data in msg.payload
