nodeopcua64

Install

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

Usage

Use OpcUa-Item to define variables. Use OpcUa-Client to read / write / subscribe / browse OPC UA server.

See some flows under folder ![examples]. Updated server sub-flow example OPCUA-TEST-NODES.json look commands: addFolder, addVariable, addMethod, setFolder. Added new opcua-rights node to set folder/variable access level and role & permissions.

Here you got some ready to use examples. You can use the Import in Node-RED in the right upper corner menu.

node-red-opcua-flow

Examples are available for Schneider IGSS and Prosys Simulation Server as Node-RED flow. Search for OPC UA on: http://flows.nodered.org/

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

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
