OPC-UA

The OPCUA protocol is a service-oriented architecture that does not work polling information, instead uses a subscription and notification system, letting the server monitor the queried items. The OPCUA server uses the Node Ids to find the items, grouping them in a Subscription. These Node Ids are also called Tags. For more information on how to configure an OPCUA Source from the ground up, go to this page.

Example:

<source>
    <name>OPC-UA-DEMO</name>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <mode>client</mode>
    <rig_name>NS04</rig_name>
    <service_company>intelie</service_company>
    <protocol_name>opcua</protocol_name>
    <protocol_version>0.0.0</protocol_version>
    <endpoint>opc.tcp://127.0.0.1:62541/milo</endpoint>
    <username>user1</username>
    <password>password</password>
    <requests>
        <request>
            <object>opcua</object>
            <query_period>20</query_period>
            <uid_log>1</uid_log>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </request>
    </requests>
</source>

The same example could be configured through the source page, at the collector's tab:

In this example we can see that an OPCUA Source should have a single Request and the following information must be provided:

NameDescriptionRequiredDefault value

object

Protocol name

opcua

query_period

Execution interval, in seconds, of each request

yes

uid_log

Request identifier

no

1

enabled

Request collection enabled

no

False

The Liverig collector also requires the Node Ids (Tags) values, among other information, to query properly. These values should be configured at the store.json file.
